Overview
The Springfield Armory Hellion is engineered for discerning operators who require a compact, reliable, and highly adaptable 5.56x45mm NATO platform. This bullpup rifle integrates advanced ergonomics with a proven short-stroke gas piston operating system, ensuring consistent performance and optimal maneuverability in diverse operational environments. Its gray finish provides a distinct aesthetic while maintaining operational discretion.
Key Features
Bullpup Configuration
The Hellion’s bullpup design positions the action behind the trigger, significantly reducing overall length while retaining a full-length 16-inch barrel. This configuration optimizes balance and handling, providing a compact footprint without compromising ballistic performance or muzzle velocity.
Ambidextrous Controls
Designed for universal application, the Hellion incorporates fully ambidextrous controls, including a reversible charging handle, ambidextrous safety selector, magazine release, and bolt release. This ensures seamless operation for both right and left-handed shooters, facilitating rapid manipulation under stress.
Adjustable Gas System
An integrated adjustable gas block allows for precise tuning of the operating system, enabling reliable function with a wide range of ammunition types and accommodating suppressed or unsuppressed operation without compromise.
Barrel Construction
This model features a 16-inch hammer-forged barrel, treated with a Melonite finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and improved bore longevity. The 1:7″ twist rate is optimized for stabilizing a broad spectrum of 5.56x45mm NATO projectile weights.
Integrated Sighting System and Accessory Mounting
A full-length Picatinny top rail provides a robust interface for optics and other aiming devices. Furthermore, the rifle includes integrated flip-up iron sights for immediate deployment. The forend is equipped with M-LOK attachment points for seamless integration of lights, lasers, and other mission-critical accessories.
Adjustable Stock
The Hellion’s stock is a 5-position adjustable unit, incorporating an integral, adjustable cheek rest. This allows operators to achieve a consistent and comfortable cheek weld, optimizing sight picture with various optics and body armor configurations.
