Anyone have thoughts on the new Hellion (VHS-2)

Post by AndytheAxe »

I just saw the Forgotten Weapons and am struck by an irrational case of the Wants. But am pretty unfamiliar with bullpups and leery of the "squishy trigger" as Ian called it. I'm a lefty but right-eyed.

My only thought on it is that Springfield Armory should eat a big bag of dicks.

The only "new" pistol that seems interesting is the Alien.

I think it is a case of the also rans. The Tavor is made by folks who field it in battle so I would put a bit more trust in one of those if you want a bullpup.

If their QC is anything like the P-35 it should be a nope.

I still don't get the appeal of bullpups - they're invariably ugly as sin(the aug being a notable exception) have horrible ergos, move that muzzle closer to your face to ensure deafness, and the less said about the triggers the better.
