Since it wasn't mentioned therein, you might be interested to know that the SAR-21 bullpup -- despite right-side ejection -- can be fired from the left shoulder. Some years ago, I had the chance to shoot a SAR-21, and noticed the ejection pattern was such that the empty cases appeared as though they would not hit a "lefty" in the face. Just to be certain, I fired it from the left shoulder, and had no problems with the ejection.
