I'm no gunsmith... but wouldn't that make it equally as easy to simply swap out a trigger and you'd have full auto.
Semi-auto variants of recent manufacture, that I've noticed anyway, usually have some modification to the reciever so that components can't easily be swapped out to provide select-fire capability.
Maybe I was not 100% clear in my original post, probably for brevity sake, i doesnt mention that obviously i thinksemi auto version would have a dedicated (specular) fire selector and a pistol handguard with no space for reach auto position. All thing that cost nothing to implement.
In that case you would have to obtain an original auto trigger mechanism and an original fire selector ( if you get those pieces you can equally obtain a whole military rifle) and after that to carve a space in the rifle body itself to allow trigger to reach end run.
Receiver? There is not a receiver in VHS, almost not a conventional one, i.e. a body part containing all the firing mechanism and that you need to open to .
Central part of rifle sport only two circular holes hosting barrel and pushing rod to pass throught but frontal part and buttstock are otherwise completely separated parts.
Rod and barrel are also naked with no heatshields to separate them from frontal handguard.
About finish i don't know, but I would say they could easily put on it same of HS 2000M/XDM

The VHS might have the potential to be technically superior to the Tavor, at least with further refinements, and it should be somewhat less expensive as well.
I've seen it mentioned that the U.S. military has purchased some for evalution, if that's true I doubt they're looking to replace their AR based rifles but it could possibly be a contender in their 5.56 PDW program. I haven't seen it but I'm told the logo for that program includes a depiction of a Tavor-ish looking bullpup, which suggests bullpups aren't "off the table" for that program.

I doubt that VHS would have any chance in US military.
They excluded bullpups in their main programme because of enphasis put on interchangeability of caliber and barrel lenght.
Croatian specifics was totally different, VHS fit in it completely and will be absolutely ok, generally speaking, in any other armed forces that are looking for a very good modern 5.56 rifle.
Problem of Bullpups are that they are perfect for Rifle/Carabine but for SAW, LMG and 5,56 PDW they have shortcomings.

Croatian specifics was totally different: they was about to enter Nato and to profesionalize their armed forces, so they wanted to swich all rifles in their lot in standard Nato caliber, they went immediately toward bullpup because caracteristics of their own territory expecially in Dalmatia litterally jelled for it and for the finishing touch they asked their own operatives to evaluate them in detail.
Final result, the VHS fit in it completely and it will be absolutely ok, generally speaking, in any other armed forces that are looking for a very good modern 5.56 rifle or carbine, but it actually lacks(as about all others bullpup) the possibility to expand itself into a full-fledged family of weapon ranging from LMG to PDW, let alone toward a single platform able to swing itself between any of these roles and also between different calibers, as the (excessively ambitious?) american specifics asked.
It would obviously be possible to start from actual VHS to develop tailored versions for other customers specifics.
An example: they affirm that differences between -d and -K version lies only in barrel lenght, so maybe to introduce a quick barrel changing system in order to switch between the two version would be not so difficult.

Still a long ways off before we see a civi version

Shot in the dark. But any chance these are on their way this year?
Could be a contender for the T97 if priced accordingly.

I'd buy one!
I think the T97NSR is the cheapest you will see a bullpup in Candada. I would love to be proven wrong, but I doubt I will be.
This is a much higher quality rifle and will demand a much higher price if it comes here.
