Are Bullpup rifles the future of modern weaponry? Will convention firearms fall out of favor soon?

Also what advantages do bullpups have over "standard" rifles such as ar's , ak's, etc

Seems like a specialty innovation, only really useful when you want a shorter over-all length.

I don't see it replacing more traditional designs any time soon.

Well the main advantage is that the maintain the same barrel length as normal rifles but with the exposed barrel length as a carbine, making them more manoeuvrable but without loosing accuracy and range.
