While I hope this will lead to a return of the bullpup, it's likely we're going to see more SBR conventional rifles.

Until someone can crank out AUGs as cheap as a Kel-Tec RDB, Stoner and Kalashnikov will be the dominant races. 

ST Engineering from Singapore will show a new version of the SAR21 bullpup next year.

They say it’s modular and will have a barrel change system of some type , no other details yet.

some hope still for the bullpup fans !

There is some overlap, but mortars tend to have shorter barrels, operate at lower velocities, and generally operate at over 45° muzzle elevation.  They have less range, but more explosive/frag effect for the system weight.   The overlap comes with "direct fire" mortars that work at much lower elevations, but still relatively low velocity.

Most other long-range artillery tend to use relatively longer barrels, higher velocity and lower elevations.  Overlap comes especially with "time on target" fire from a single weapon at long range.  A single weapon can fire multiple rounds at the same target, but using a combination of elevations and sometimes propellant loads (different velocities), have all the rounds land on the target at roughly the same time.
