Springfield Armory Hellion 5.56 NATO Bullpup Rifle ‒ OD Green, Short-Stroke Gas Piston, Threaded 16" Barrel
The Springfield Armory Hellion brings the combat-proven Croatian VHS-2 bullpup to the U.S. market in a civilian-legal semi-automatic package. Its compact 16-inch, cold-hammer-forged CMV barrel, ambidextrous controls, and fully reversible ejection system make it a standout for shooters who need a modern, maneuverable rifle that accommodates both left- and right-hand operation.

This Hellion retains the VHS-2’s short-stroke gas piston and rotating bolt system, delivering reliable cycling in adverse conditions while keeping fouling out of the action. A two-position adjustable gas regulator lets you switch between normal and suppressed settings without tools.
The bullpup layout places the action behind the trigger, giving you a full-length 16-inch barrel in an overall package roughly the size of an SBR. The five-position, telescoping buttstock with built-in cheek riser allows quick length-of-pull adjustments, and QD sling sockets simplify carry options.
Ambidextrous controls are everywhere: magazine release, safety selector, and the non-reciprocating, foldable charging handle all work from either side. The ejection port can be reversed with minimal tools, so true left-hand operation is achievable.
A full-length, numbered Picatinny top rail hosts integrated flip-up sights — a hooded front post with elevation drum and a five-aperture rear — while M-LOK slots along the polymer handguard provide plenty of room for accessories. Standard 1/2-28 muzzle threads accept popular flash hiders, brakes, or suppressors.
