Springfield Armory Hellion 5.56 NATO

Designed to deliver full-length barrel performance in a compact package, the Springfield Armory Hellion adapts a bullpup layout to provide a shorter overall length without sacrificing barrel length or ballistic potential. The Hellion is suitable for range use, practical shooting, and any situation where a portable, full-barrel 5.56 NATO platform is preferred.

The Hellion uses a bullpup configuration with the action located behind the trigger to achieve an overall length substantially shorter than conventional rifles with the same barrel length. Ergonomic features include ambidextrous controls, a reversible case ejection system, and an adjustable stock with a cheek riser to aid consistent eye alignment with optics or sights.
