BeowulfX Picatinny Rail

What could be the advantage of such a setup? Mounting everything towards the center of the rifle as opposed to out front on the handguard would help keep it more balanced. What could be the drawbacks? The height over bore seems a bit too high, and while having all your accessories centrally located may seem like a good theory, it would locate them too far from your hand to actually control them. Also having your weapon light located that far back on the rifle is not the optimal location for it. The BeowulfX is on Rockethub right now where the designer of the the BeowulfX is trying to raise funds to produce 500 units.
