Springfield Hellion Rifles !?

[onetwentyish]

Please make a Canadian manufactured bullpup 180B.

This would require innovation tho!

Accuracy 6/10
Handling 4/10

Meh, I'll pass.

TFB James was getting 1moa with bulk m855 and 2moa with steel case, imagine trying good ammo.

The Hellion sports ambidextrous controls that work in concert with a reversible case ejection system, allowing it to be easily fired from either shoulder.

If thats without having to get a second dedicated bolt , then , I'm in .

The Croatians ran 50000 rounds through a VHS 2 rifle as an endurance test and it didn't have a single parts breakage. The gun has been adopted by 2 militaries already - Croatia and Iraq, has been tested in combat and operated in adverse desert conditions and was purchased by the FBI in a small batch for 'reasons'. These guns are quality with years of development behind them. There are three 'clunky' controls which are a stiff safety switch, a bolt release that isn't the same as an AR 15, and a characteristic mushy bullpup trigger which is supposed to be around 8 pounds. These are all things that can be fixed. There were actually 4 cons with the original VHS, the fourth being that the gun took proprietary magazines. The VHS 2 Now takes steel AR mags, PMags, e.g. anything you could fit in your AR fits in this thing. I'm surprised I haven't seen more companies try and work with Springfield to get these into the country and be Canada compliant. I know Tac Imports already said they stopped pursuing VHS imports.

The original design actually used G36 mags, but like the G36, a simple mag well swap and bang it takes stanag mags.

It is, you just rotate bolt 180°

Yes it also took famas mags

It's a semiauto scary rifle. That's all they need.

...and it's Black, let's not forget it's Black.

I’d take one if it ever arrives, but we are freedom challenged up here, so I’m not sure if it ever will. Thanks Trudy.

You recognize it from Farcry 5?

Darn millennials don't even recognize the StA-52 from Killzone when its right in front of them.

That’s exactly what I thought first time I saw it! Dam I loved that game.

Down to the ISA!

I told you the day would come!

I feel like I’m the only one who isn’t really excited about this thing. I like how you can swap out the magwell but everything else about it is pretty meh to me. Not a fan of the looks whatsoever and don’t really have a good history with Springfield products

Fair to have your own judgment but, if I may..
It’s hardly a Springfield product, it’s a vetted and evolved and tested rifle that they modified with a grip and handguard to make it comply with US domestic parts laws.

Somebody get these in I’ll pre-order now !!

Going by the response of all the haters on CGN to the sterling rifle introduction, I don't know why any Canadian manufacturer would bother.

[drifter dave]

That Bronco is now worth $35k U.S. lol

 

[Lungorthin]

I've wanted this rifle for 5+ years. Will buy one in a heartbeat.

 

[421SuperDuty]

This is probably the model we'd get, the K2 20in barrel version.
Springfield wouldn't have much to change, just the barrel and whatever gas piston differences, straight change

I’m holding out for the DVD
