I think you are simplifying. My point was, as the OP stated, they have to design a semi-auto model specifically for the Canadian market. They'll surely incur a substantial cost to do this.

What i meant was that it is a small bullpup like the type 97. Why would this be more acceptable then the norc ?

No, really, they won't. There has to be a tab left inside the reciever, or a recess of smaller size, or somethign similar, so that a standard sear/trigger group will not fit into the reciever. They then make a semi auto sear/trigger system that fits, which would be as simple as modifying the little plastic box that most modular trigger systems are contained in nowadays anyway :S While they would probably pay a team or engineers a ton of money to "design" this, really, you can do it yourself with a piece of paper and a pencil...

They really should have a time limit on making anything full auto. If they cant convert it within X amount of time, its not easily converted and doesn't get classified prohib. Cause seriously... after 6 months in a machine shop I'm pretty sure monkeys could turn most bolt actions full auto.
Just looking at a quick google search, one of the models was sporting a 19 inch barrel.. so that 'should' be non-restricted. The other version was under the 18.5 inch mark so it would be classified restricted.
Well i know a few things about this rifle (read a recent article with an interview with the designers) First yeah this version is not ambidextrous, however as the VHS is considered a work in progress so they are making innovations in every batch, most of it is well still hush hush i guess hehe but what they said is the new ambidextrous system where you can change the ejection ports for cartridges very quickly (compared it simple as a sliding door). also (i dn if it will be for the civis aswel) they made in cooperation with a local technical innovative institute Ruder Bosković a new integral magnification+red dot sight in the handle, it is detachable (the whole handle). both of this in final testing and will soon come out. oh someone asked about the picatinny rails well you got one on the carrying handle already but you can slap on 5 more of them all over (or if you remove the handle i think you can slap on 1 more). here are some pics with things on it hehe.

supposedly its a very good rifle , ergonomy is great and sits in your shoulder comfortably and your eye comes in the right position of the sights automatically, it's well balanced, simple plus its very light, but nasty looking hehe. supposedly it was tested by foreign armies aswell (besides croatians) in the deserts and did really well. i read somewhere that it beat alot of other guns so Americans ordered 500 of them to evaluate them. hope this helped and hope it wasnt to long hehe

From a 1993 Supreme Court treatise on Regina vs. Hasselwander:
"Because of the nature of the continuing offence of possession of a prohibited weapon under s. 88(1) and having regard to the purpose of the subsection, we are all satisfied that the acceptable amount of adaptation and the time-span required to render the gun operable is longer than that required for a s. 83 offence, where the adaptation has to be made on the scene in order to support the charge of using a firearm during the commission or attempted commission of an indictable offence or during the flight thereafter." [Emphasis added]
If you look it up, this is near the very bottom of a very long article.
The actual ruling quoted was about whether a sawed-off shotgun missing its firing mechanism could be made operable. In general the rule is "reasonable time" and "reasonable effort". If you can convert a firearm to full automatic at home, in an evening or two, with common household tools, you are SOL. If the conversion requires access to a machine shop, no problem.

Just as a historical footnote, it was either the Aussies or New Zealanders who were going to deal with a LMG shortage by converting bolt action Lee Enfields to make LMGs during early WWII
I always tell Fudds this one when they go on about how semi-autos should be banned because they can be "easily converted"

It is also quite possibly the ugliest rifle i have ever seen.
What do you mean "possibly"?
VHS. hmm. Sounds totaly analogue. I may just wait for the digital version.
Remind me to get excited when they are in the country, ready for sale, and under 2000 bucks. Until then, it's fantasy, and there are several cheaper alternatives.

because it might take longer than 18 months to make this one "easily" into a full auto......
That is a snide way of saying you're out of your lane
I don't know, it looks enough like a FAMAS that you could work out all of those LE fantasies from your teen years with it. Incidently I'm aware of a connection between the LE and Croatia which has me wondering about the design of this rifle.
Forget bullpup from the other shoulder. I tried with my Tavor once and tasted brass. The ejection is directly besides your face so no mater what the angle or ejection is, you still get it.
