In my personal experiance they are alot slower to reload due to the position of the magazine release and the triggers are usually horrible compared to a conventional weapon.
That being said they really don't have a great advantage in CQB for the most part. you clear a building just as fast with a conventional weapon as you do with a bullpup.
Besides I have relatives who have seen combat and have experiance with bullpups with the British Millitary and what they prefer as a rifle. They own conventional rifles even when there are now some interesting bullpups on the market.
