The Springfield Armory Hellion is a compact bullpup semi-automatic rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 Rem). Its bullpup layout locates the action behind the trigger so the rifle retains a full-length 16″ barrel in a shorter overall package. The Hellion includes ambidextrous controls and a reversible case ejection system designed to accommodate both left- and right-handed shooters. A two-position adjustable gas system provides normal and suppressed settings for adaptable operation.
