Overview
The Springfield Armory Hellion in 5.56 offers a robust, compact bullpup platform designed for operational efficiency and consistent performance. This rifle integrates a full 16-inch barrel within a significantly shorter overall footprint, optimizing maneuverability without compromising ballistic velocity. Engineered for experienced firearm users, the Hellion prioritizes utility, ergonomics, and component durability across diverse applications.
Key Features
Bullpup Configuration
The Hellion’s bullpup design positions the action behind the trigger group, allowing for a standard 16-inch barrel within an extremely compact overall length of 28.25 inches. This configuration enhances handling in confined spaces while maintaining projectile velocity and sight radius inherent to longer barrels.
Ambidextrous Controls
Equipped with fully ambidextrous controls, including the safety selector, magazine release, and bolt release, the Hellion facilitates seamless operation for both left and right-handed shooters. The charging handle is also reversible, further enhancing user adaptability.
Adjustable Gas System
A two-position adjustable gas block permits precise tuning of the short-stroke piston system. This feature allows the operator to optimize performance with standard ammunition or mitigate over-gassing when running suppressed, ensuring reliable cycling and extended component life.
Integrated Rail System
The rifle incorporates a full-length Picatinny top rail for robust optics mounting. Additionally, M-LOK attachment points are present on the handguard at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, providing versatile options for integrating lights, lasers, and other mission-specific accessories.
Precision Barrel
The 16-inch barrel is precision manufactured to deliver consistent accuracy. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, it ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of ammunition types while offering dependable ballistic performance.
Construction & Materials
Constructed with a durable polymer frame and high-strength steel components, the Hellion is built to withstand rigorous use. Its internal mechanisms are engineered for reliability, contributing to the platform’s extended service life and consistent function under demanding conditions. The rifle features a Grey finish for enhanced discretion.
