Springfield Armory Announces the Hellion 5.56 NATO Bullpup!\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" rel=\"noopener\">the new Hellion bullpup carbine<\/a>. Based on the 5.56 NATO VHS-2 fielded by the Croatian armed forces and tested by the French military, this is the bullpup Springfield fans have been asking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new semi-automatic Hellion builds upon the solid foundation of the Croatian VHS-2, and adapts it to the needs of American shooters,\u201d said Springfield Armory Vice President Steve Kramer. \u201cWith the changes applied to the design by Springfield Armory, the Hellion offers American shooters a truly unique and capable 5.56 bullpup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Based on the internationally proven VHS-2 bullpup,&nbsp;which has been&nbsp;employed by the Croatian armed forces in demanding environments ranging&nbsp;from Iraq to Africa and beyond, the Springfield Armory Hellion offers American shooters a semi-automatic version of this highly capable firearm,&#8221; Springfield said in the announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hellion is a fully ambidextrous bullpup with a 16-inch barrel, a Magpul M-Lok forend, a STANAG magazine well and a one-piece full-length flattop rail for optics and accessories. A bullpup, the action is tucked in the rear of the carbine in the telescoping stock assembly to make it as compact as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"792\" title=\"Oh, Hell Yeah!

The optics rail has integral adjustable, 5-position aperture flip-up iron sights that stow away flush. The rail doubles as a carry handle and protects the non-reciprocating charging handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is truly ambidextrous, with a reversible bolt that can be set to eject from either side without any tools or extra parts. It can be set to right- or left-handed operation as quickly as it can be field-stripped and reassembled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hellion is designed to eject spent cases safely away from the shooter in either configuration, and can be shot from the weak side with less worry about getting brass to the face. All of the other controls are fully ambidextrous including the safety selector, magazine and bolt release and the charging handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfields-new-sa-35-iconic-design-with-a-modern-flair\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-announces-hellion-5-56mm-bullpup\" title=\"Oh, Hell Yeah!

The Hellion has six quick-detach sling sockets to accommodate a wide variety of sling styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internally the Hellion uses a two-position adjustable short-stroke gas piston system and multi-lug bolt based on the well-proven AR-18 family of firearms. The Hellion comes with a 4-prong flash hider and ships with one 30-round Magpul PMag where available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" title=\"Oh, Hell Yeah!

The 16-inch barrel has a 1-in-7 twist and a Melonite nitride finish along with the bolt carrier group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an exciting announcement for Springfield fans and gun enthusiasts all across the country.
