Pretty cool. Bull pup with an adjustable length of pull too.

For a minute I thought they were T97's with the DIY Flat top upper that a member posted a few weeks ago, LoL.

Anyone aware of that thread?

HAHA, that's the first thing that came to my mind as well.

And an SVD propped up in a covered shooting position, but oddly I don't see many spare mags...

What always get me about these people, is the lack of water bottles. I assume they are never more than 500m from the mall.

Are VHS available here?

 

[copeland]

HS Produkt VHS, no not DVD because DVD is so 1996.

Im really impressed.

A.) You nailed it.
B.) Ive never seen these before.

What do you guys think?

Doesn't look they've gotten much training. Also doesn't look like the guns have seen much use. Their slings look factory fresh, and like others have mentioned no use of front sight.

It looks like a photo op to me. The guys black coat isn't even dirty and he's sporting a nice scarf to. The sling still has wrinkles in it from being folded up.

VHS it is. when will we see it in Canada ?

 

[mikethebike]

photo op with brand new rifles and brand new fighters!

I'll bet this pic isn't even in Iraq, but in a dirt pile staged for the photo in the U.S with a couple guys from the studio in the picture. Look at the pic nothing looks right, clean clothes, front sight down, shooting into the air, new rifles, crisp slings, come on.

Even newbies in the desert have better guns than we do...

Those boys are shooting this weapon. The cocking handles are identical. The French FA-MAS cocking device looks like an inverted trigger.

Guess we know where all the spam cans of Norc 5.56 are!!

I like the closest guy's nike shoes. And yes, this pic seems very fishy.

The Iraqis government ordered 10,000 VHS-2 from HS Precision back in 2014 and they were delivered to the Kurdish. It is also the only bullpup in the French Trial, along with HK 416 and Sig MCX.

Yeah, everybody knows Adidas the official Jihad wear

I think his front sight is down.

The first side that figures out how to use sights will run the table in that war

Nobody mentioned the rifle sticking into the pile of sandbags. (Sorry, Kevin M. mentioned it. My bad.)

This pic appears in a recent New York Times article, showing a bullpup I don't recognize in the hands of pro-government militias.

I'm almost completely sure this isn't a French FAMAS. The carry handle, sights, muzzle, cheek rest and forearm are all wrong.

It seems to share some characteristics with the G36 in terms of aesthetics, and I know for a fact that the German military has supplied G36's to Kurdish forces in the region, but I digress.

Here's the image.
