The IWI X95 is the answer: Question what configuration of weapon for todays modern soldier would you chose as the issue rifle?
IWI has taken the Bullpup design which I have never liked and has brought it into the 21st century, this design WORKS. I see no reason why the AR can not be configured to this same standards...
