Quote HistoryQuoted: Just like SA's probably Turkish framed hipower the YouTube whores will whore to make sure the payola continues and that they get clicks by being among the first in line to shit out reviews by keeping manufacturers happy Then in a few months we'll find out it has the same meh Rube Goldberg trigger and mediocre accuracy you'd expect out of a third tier military bullpup. Looks like it could be a sci-fi channel prop  Attached File |

I foresee a gun for use in sci-fi movies, soon to make an appearance in The Expanse!
I will give it a couple of years to ensure no kinks before getting one. |

I watched three Forgotten Weapons videos on the VHS-2/Hellion.
The grip being weirdly far forward seems to offset the shortness from being a bullpup. It's been in French military trials and although it lost to the HK I guess the -2 is a "real army gun" The high optic mount is a bummer. It's easily used switching shoulder to shoulder. Sounds like it still has bullpup trigger. It's set up well for options with slings, lights and optics. I'm still unconvinced that it has any real advantage over the super duper AR and although it's "short" it's not ak folder short and doesn't seem like a "good gun for evil dickheads" like the Krapnishikov. Despite Iraq buying some no one is going to outfit their boy soldiers with vhs-2 |

Want to like it but the safety and bolt release kill it for me.
Plus kind of becoming a trigger snob. |

These guys semi-figured this out a while ago :)  The top one is a 20" BBL 8mm Mauser full-power, the bottom one is a 16" Kurtz. And that's just moving the barrel breach back to above the trigger group (hence the side magazines). A bullpup moves it back even farther. That said, is the Hellion the one to go with? not really. I'll take an AUG, RDB, or MDRx over one, personally. But it's still going to be a good gun just not my style and doesn't offer anything the above 3 don't satisfy for me better, all for equal or better price, and equal or better weight. The thing to watch out with bullpups is mass, they get heavy. They point fast when up into your shoulder but you are basically one-arm lifting it up and into your shoulder when you start (not 2-arm like with an AR), and they are also heavier than AR's too. RDB is on the right path of getting a lot lighter. Hellion in 2022? I expected more effort on this from them for a 2022 release, personally. $2k starting price? For half the price you can get an RDB for half the weight too (well, not quite half the weight, but you get my drift). |
