Beschreibung
The Springfield Armory Hellion 16" represents a consistently modern approach in the field of semi-automatic rifles in 5.56 × 45 mm caliber. In a compact bullpup design, it combines a reduced overall length with a full barrel length and high system performance.
Bullpup configuration
On the Hellion, the system is located behind the trigger. This bullpup architecture enables:
Overall length of approx. 71–72 cm (28.25")
Full-length 16" barrel
Optimized balance and handling
High mobility with unchanged ballistic performance
The result is a particularly compact 5.56 mm rifle with a full barrel length.
Barrel and precision
16" hammer forged barrel
Twist rate: 1:7"
Melonite® coating for high wear and corrosion resistance
Chambering: 5.56 × 45 mm
The combination of hammer forging, suitable twist rate and surface treatment ensures long-lasting precision and consistent performance.
Gas and operating system
To adapt to different operating conditions, the Hellion features a two-position adjustable gas block:
"N" – Normal operation
"S" – Operation with suppressor
This enables optimized system tuning with regard to recoil impulse and functional reliability.
Controls and ergonomics
The Hellion is consistently designed for ambidextrous use:
Ambidextrous controls
Reversible case ejection system
Shooting from right and left shoulder without any conversion
The spring-assisted five-position adjustable stock allows individual adaptation to different shooters and body sizes.
The system accepts AR-15-compatible grip modules, such as the included BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3.
Mounting interfaces and sights
Top rail
Full-length Picatinny top rail
Integrated spring-loaded folding iron sights
Robust design with secure locking
Handguard
Polymer handguard
9 M-Lok slots
3 positions each at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock
This allows the mounting of optics, backup sights, lighting, grip systems or other accessories.
Magazine compatibility
The Hellion is compatible with AR-pattern magazines, ensuring wide availability and logistical flexibility.
