Thats a proper Croatian Military rifle. Much respect for reviewing a good rifle.
My guess is Springfield bought the rights to make a civilian version for the American market.
@@hbomb9397 they wont be making that, they will import them like their XD pistols
@@hbomb9397 They are not making it just importing it just like XD pistols. Same company is producing them - HS Produkt
That dude at 1:06 who looks at a rifle with the ability to choose left or right eject and just decides to eat brass instead.
Brass Bukake
And he could've adjusted the stock a little to give him more space between his face and the ejection port
There is a brass deflector at the back of the ejection port that eats the brass instead of the face, yes it is really really close but the brass do not hit his face.
Brass bukka
Swapping may be easy, but it's not so easy that you're doing it in the middle of a firefight, and sometimes you want to shoot from the off shoulder.
Now, I can achieve the full power of LARPing as a Helghast trooper at the range
FINALLY
Need this to go along with my XDM 10MM
😎😎
@@gemneyetwin6248 10mm? Whoa boy, how's the recoil on that bad boy?
Such a criminally underrated game series.
@@steveo1413 Agreed.
Those Croatian special forces shots look cool. :)
They are actually special police unit ATJ Lučko ( Counter Terrorist Unit). But they have real combat experience .
I have never wanted a bullpup more than this one!
Worth it guns bad ass
WANT! I've been hoping for a semi-auto version, ever since Ian from Forgotten Weapons did a video on the military rifle :)
I called my FFL dealer yesterday and told him to order me one. Put half down this morning and it will be here mid February.
How much?
@@stephenbunger3364 USD 1.999
@@stephenbunger3364 It's gonna run me about $1950 I get a 10% military discount through him. Other places in town are charging around $2100.
I watched several videos about this gun as I am really considering buying one as soon as they come to Poland, but this one appealed to me the most. I like the way you describe the stuff without being too excited, but straight to the point and with valid information.. As a non native English speaker I do appreciate your neat English, easy to understand for non native speaker. Thank you. Sub
Mirco Crocop was in that Croatian shooting line at the start.
Hehe, no. Grandpas are not allowed there, he is retired many years ago.
I haven't wanted a gun this bad in a while. I hate that Springfield gave it a stupid name but I'll overlook that for the fact that it's finally being imported!!! But seriously though why not the VHS-SA? SA works both for "Springfield Armory" and "Semi Auto", Hellion is so stupid. Also hopefully they offer classic conversion kits later for the integrated optic top rail, g36 mags, and original style handguard and lower grip housing. Still I'm super happy I can finally get one though! Thought this was a gun we would never see in the USA.
The name is an analogy from Croatia, every letter in the word VHS means something, Ian talked about it in his first video on forgotten weapons a few days ago.
if they named it after the helghast id let it slide lmao
I suspect the market for that "classic conversion kit" would be EXTREMELY limited.
@@just-incase3483 The original name for this rifle is VHS,which stands for Višenamjenska Hrvatska Strojnica (Multifunctional Croatian Machinegun). Hellion doesn't mean anything in Croatian,that's just what Springfield renamed it for the American market.
@@ZP1993 I meant vhs not hellion, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Great information.... purchased a VHS-2 (AKA HELLION) its a fantastic bullpup rifle. Probably one of the best bullpups I own.
Looks kind of like a modern FAMAS. Croatia. Who knew
Well it WAS entered into the testing to replace the FAMAS. The Croats even made a FAMAS magwell for it.
When a FAMAS and a G36 have a love child.
Thank you for the break down and swap to the left handed, Much appreciated by the left handed shooters
Bolt hold open:
1. Pull charging handle to rear.
2. Finger up inside magwell.
3. Manipulate lever… holds bolt open.
Easy
Thank you for the breakdown video. The manual wasn't as clear for me, so your video was a great way to follow through and properly take it apart for reconfiguration.
Clear manual on anything exist on planet 🤣😅
Vhs produkts rifle gonna have my killzone cosplay ready
I want that sick carry handle optic
Springfield ?
It's a vhs2 !!!!
I Know it , have one of thèse , very effective and accurate .
And the weight IS just were it's need , so you have less inertia in fast target Switch !!!
One of my five gun y don't sell ever !
(Sorry for the english ,but ... i'm french After all )
I love mine...very comfortable and accurate. I have a red dot, but want to add a pivoting magnifier...
Is $1699 a good price for this rifle?
The best review ever on these and more. Thank you. What would you say this would fall into of a top 5
Number 1.
*RECOILtv* Yes please, thats a nice looking rifle. Thank-you for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
This is a HS products from Croatia an Springfield makes them for the USA. Great looking gun
Springfield doesn't make sh..
They just import it with Springfield stamp on it.
It's fully made in Croatia.
Plus they gave it video game name.
Will Sprongfield sell the original carrying-handle optics?
"Tactical Tickle" 😂
3:52 this is short barrel version. There is also available long barrel version which is 90 mm longer.
Sería muy bueno conseguir un semi automático continuo, tener apretado el disparador,el gatillo y dispar una auna la munición dispara o disparo con solo tener el gatillo,apretado, y luego sus dos ráfagas de 3,6 disparos eso daría mucha ventaja.
Yes!!! I need this!
HS Product better make us one for the EU market now
Thanks for the instruction. If I might suggest, tighter camera shots.
👍🏻
Anybody noticed how in full auto almost doesn't even clime?
That probably has less to do with the rifle, and more to do with those guys having a lot of experience with full auto.
@@Devin_Stromgren rifle
At least 40 yards is the minimum , I don’t understand what’s the point when using a rifle at 10 yards at a human size target
No tools for disassembly, ambi controls and Right and left operation. Only drawbacks I can see is the bolt release and safety controls.
They’ve already fixed the safety, lowering the control.
Bolt release is easy & intuitive.
Just a matter of, “training to the gun.”
1:07 ya that looks comfortable.
It can be swapped over to left handed in like a minute lol
But good to know it'll at least work wrong-handed.
@@RADIOACTIVEBUNY the thing is the guy shooting it, didn't even place his head correctly, because you can shoot with the wrong hand and still not get hit
Got mine today with a elcan coming tomorrow
How far in the does firing pin go? When you push the bolt back with your hand, should it it be able to lock back in the last notch? Should the firing oin be able to pop out after you put the firing pin retaining pin in? Thanks!
Looks like Croatian made semi - auto VHS 2 rifle...God Bless🙏🙏🙏.
That is exactly what it is.
The BCM pistol grip seems out of place. Would be nice if they used, or if it was possible to use, the original pistol grip as seen on the select fire model.
That could very well be a 922R part. I'm actually glad they picked BCM, fantastic grip, and you can always change it to something else in a minute, or the original(back to 922r game).
Intention is to regulate position SAFE - FIRE with your THUMB!
Top receiver locking into the gasblock is a curious choice. RIP your accuracy. Have fun with the heat.

If this rifle was designed today it would have a free floating barrel, although it's new to the US market, it's not really "new."
Even the negative reviews I've seen have lauded it accuracy though.
@@anonypersona3189 It's not boasting that its new. It works
Wow that is alot to takedown to get the to bolt. You have to do all that to clean it?
IAIN….
So messed up to show REAL VHS2 smgs and then show an ordinary Hellion…….lol
You made me drool 🤤
FAMAS meets G36
When can we buy it?
How's the trigger? What kind of accuracy can be expected?

Hell yeah.I just need it in 308/7.63×51
I'm torn I like bulpups and dislike Springfield
Well, it's a Springfield, so why are you here?
@@traeucity6087 because he likes bullpups
@@Barbaroossa , There are Bullpups sold by companies other than Springfield. Levi's makes jeans. Levi's is also vehemently anti-gun. I wouldn't click on a video about a new product from Levi's, knowing I dislike their politics. There are too many other companies making jeans.
I get the dislike of the company I dislike them too. But they make great guns. I own more Springfield's then any other single manufacturer. Yes there are always other options but when they make what I want, well that's the way it works I guess. We all hate Walmart but we all still go there
@@traeucity6087 because just like your right to complain about my comment I have the right to chime in about the company. I could go into the whole Springfield was one of the 1st companies to bend the knee to the AWB but I won't.
Tactical tickle! 😆 That's fantastic!
I'm having trouble pulling the butt stock off. I have the pin out all the way, and the butt stock comes out a bit, but it just doesn't want to finish coming out... Any tips?
Pull up.
And then back.
Hey what does a foward assist do? Ehhh, its just kinda there ehhh . Perfect explanation
Man's eating brass in the beginning. You know you can change the ejection port for lefties
Nice review overall of a cool rifle. Next time ditch the side cam shots and show some close ups of what you are talking about.
Ok now bring out the FDE version! 👏
Wonder what happens if you shoot it with both ejection doors open🤔
This looks like my keltec 308 without the anoing top part mmmmmm could someone show me the difference
Oh look....A Tavor, a G36K and a FN Scar have a baby.
Wait, I see the other two, but where does the SCAR come in?

I love it when people who admittedly rarely shoot bullpups say that bullpups are slower to reload. :-P
It's not the gun, it's you. There are lots of videos out there that show that with practice bullpups can actually be faster to reload.
This guy was spec ops in a country that uses the AUG (or a derivative). He’s right, you’re wrong.
@@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193 Spec ops in Australia hardly ever use the AUG and the AUG reloading process is quite different from this.
@@lucastonoli3256 it’s not going to look much different, according to this guy in the vid. And they don’t use the Aug much anymore it’s true. Because they finally found out the AR15 is better.
@@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193 You're severely confused and uninformed.
They use the AUG plenty, over 90% of the rifles they have are AUGs, only SF uses AR-based rifles. Their older AUG was not "accessory-friendly" and they were rather slow to update it, now they are deploying a newer model with enough rails, some weight reduction, and a better interface with GL and such.
SF also uses AR-based rifles because they often work along with other SF that also have AR-based rifles and having cross-compatibility in parts and mags as well as a similar manual of arms is convenient.
@@lucastonoli3256 I was only talking about spec ops. No confusion here.
We need a "tactical tickle" shirt
Good review.
MSRP??
$2k. About 800 too high.
@@Tsotsix58 why is it 800 too high? It seems comparably priced to other military bullpups in the market.
@@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193 2k doesn't offer much value. It's a service rifle. Expect 1.5 to 3 MOA and a not stellar trigger. That being said, I owned a desert tech MDRx, which is best in breed bullpup wise and it offers much better controls and options.
I don't think $2,000 is reasonable for any 5.56/.223 rifle. When you realize you're gonna be at $2,500 by time you have an optic on it thats very steep.
But, I DO think it is a very cool gun and would love to own one. Just too many other ways to spend the money and have a great carbine set up.
But YMMV.
Started around $2000.
Often found around $1600-1700 now.
6:25 there is a bolt hold open IN the magazine weld
Good video otherwise
No 300blk?? 😞
Yet.
Great Video. Thank you
Awesome!!!
Is it being released into us market? :D
Never forgey what springfield did
what did they do
@@efi4100 exactly
waaahhh wahhh wahhhh wahh wahhh awhahhh
That is pretty awesome
Was the brass banging off that bearded dudes face lol
That's what the tactical beard is for.
um nope
I'm not sure all of them were enjoying the hot brass bukkake coming out of that thing. Some probably, but not all. Did they not let the devil handed media folks try a lefty configured model?
No chrome lined barrel?
That more vertical grip makes no sense with that longer LoP
Hammer forged, Melonite lined
Croatian army riffle
Strip and assembly looks unnecessarily complex. Need to simplify, but there's a lot of potential in the design, would love to see a 20 inch DMR variant.
Simplify? It’s three captive pins and a detent for the trigger pack. How much simpler do you want?
He was just showing the complete basic takedown procedure.
This is NOT necessary for eject side change.
All you have to do is remove the pin, and then the rest of the bolt assembly.
Turn bolt for L. eject v. R. eject.
Swap pins for eject port doors.
Then reassemble.
It’s simple, quick, easy.
Want!
That left handed shooter was getting blasted on the chin with brass.
Wrong! The shell deflector was eating brass. His face was really close but he didn't eat the brass.
Thanks for the review, great info but I’ll pass.
So far you're the only pass I see in the comment 😂😂
🇭🇷👍
not good for lefty's
I will never buy Springfield again , I don't care what they come up with that's cool! Never forget what Springfield did!
same
not made by Springfield, just imported. It is made by HS product and it is in use in multible militaryes and special forces. It has seen combat.
Whaaaaat noice
A very tasty lookign gun marred severely by the gimmick cringe name.
Bullpup Springfield, no thanks 🙄
uh yeah that right to left switch looked anything but easy.. haha.. and this guy flinging parts everywhere made me laugh.
"SPRINGFIELD ARMORY has designed a bullpup..." Lies, lies and more lies Springfield bought HP Produkt's VHS2 with minor mods and got a variance to put their name on it. Probably 80% of what they sell comes from Brazil & Croatia, every firearm except M1A's,
Not a complaint about the Hellion. I love my Hellion but Springield is basicaly just a importer and engraver for XD & Hellion (Croatia HK Produkt), 1911 and Hi power-(Brazil Imbel)
Cant trust anything Recoil TV Says if they don't know/say it's a HK Produkt VHS-2 that takes AR grip and STANAG magazines.
2 grand 🤣.
I'll give Springfield a pass for this one.
Oh baby My wallet is cooming!
funny, since it probably isn't one of springfield armory designs XD
@@wolfsworkshop9095 None of the xd guns are their designs, they import them
another imported gun from Springfield meh. Never forgive Springfield for what they got caught doing to gun owners
The reason this will fail is because Springfield is so full of themselves that they would name it the “hellion” and slap their emblem on BOTH sides of it, rather than just leave the VHS-2 name on it.
I don’t think it will fail. It’s doing things like accuracy and functional bolt release, combined with NATO mag compatibility, better than stuff like the AUG or Tavor.
It’s doing quite well in ‘23-‘24.
@@jpmriccardi it’s a cool gun, no doubt. But SAI could benefit from getting out of its own way with the stupid name.
Strašno oružje...
1:06 is why no one should even make bullpups, you cant practically shoot weak handed...
You obviously haven't heard of some of the most famous bullpups ever made (by FN) then. P90? F2000?
You can shoot it just fine, the dude was probably trying that for the first time and had his face over the deflector, you can see him re-adjusting. It's called learning, might take some more shooting than a full mag to get it right.
Yes you can.
Keep face BEHIND the cheek piece hump.
Then is no problem.
Also, extending the stock moves your face back more from the ejection port.
Easy fixes that work very well.
And I thought a FAMAS was ugly....
I thought your woman was ugly
"Really controllable in full auto" - proceeds to get kicked around by the hardest recoiling 5.56-gun i've ever seen...
It’s actually very soft shooting.
About reload, take a look at this guy who figure it out by himself and that's much faster... he uses his thumb (instead pinching the release button what most people do) or you can just hit it as fast as you can with your hand.🤔
