From what I can recall(in addition to the already explained mag well) the short forearm was due to watching students move their hands closer and closer to the receiver as the day went along and to cut down on weight shoved out front.

I have switched a 15" rail to a 13" for roughly the same reason. That may look odd, but it wouldn't be front heavy.
