The smaller bullets have a higher velocity and a flatter trajectory.
They are also lighter... a soldier can carry more ammo.
The best assault rifle, on the planet for numerous reasons and
by a large margin (imho) is the Australian Lithgow ATRAX...
as issued to Australian soldiers, airmen, and sailors.

There are many reasons to choose a bullpup. I'm sure your arguments are sound and at least close to exact with an apparent slight bit of bias included, and I mean that in a good way as people should be biased toward what's theirs and is good. The only change I would make, and possibly only positive for me, would be the portion where the left hand is braced would be about 10-12 degrees more toward the vertical than what is shown. And I'd go with the variation shown in either the center or last photos I think. Not that I'd turn down any of them.
I'm guessing your comments are from personal experience while serving. In that case, thank you for serving.
