With modifications it's capable of left hand firing. The ejection port and charging handle can be swapped to the other side.

It has a few minor drawbacks. It'll take time to field, train, and implement like any other weapon. It's 3 times the cost of an M-4/ M-16. I'd like to give it a go and see how it feels.
