Built on a stamped-steel AKM-type receiver with a ribbed top cover, this Hellpup uses a semi-automatic, long-stroke gas piston system with a 90-degree gas block. Its micro proportions keep overall length around 21.85 in and weight about 6.32 lb while maintaining the familiar AK manual of arms and robust construction.
The 11.73 in barrel is threaded 14x1 LH and comes fitted with a factory expansion-chamber booster. It uses a 1:9 RH twist with 4-groove rifling to stabilize common 7.62x39 projectiles. Capacity is listed at 30+1, and the pistol accepts standard AK double-stack magazines.
Furniture includes laminated wood handguards, with the lower featuring grasping grooves for a secure hold, and a Magpul MOE polymer pistol grip. Controls are classic AK: a paddle-style magazine release and a manual safety/selector lever.
Sighting is handled by iron sights with a protected front post and a tangent rear sight graduated to 10. The finish is blued/painted, and markings include "HELLPUP 7.62 x 39 PIONEER ARMS CORP RADOM, POLAND," the RADOM POLAND crest, and the import mark "PIONEER ARMS CORP PORT ORANGE, FL."
