Springfield Armory Hellion - Aiming to Misbehave Review Part 1

2 years ago

Springfield Armory Hellion - a high quality, fully and perfectly mirrored ambidextrous, 5.56 bullpup carbine with a 16” barrel in a package with overall length of only 28.25”.

Why the obsession with a long barrel in a short package and perfectly mirrored controls? For the ambidextrous “optimal use of cover” perfectly mirrored controls means the Ambidextral Gunfighter can trust bilateral transfer of skill from one hand to the other. That is dynamic, “unconscious” ambi operation is not stymied and one isn’t taken out of “the zone” because the controls behave differently left and right handed. And short overall length means you can get up close to cover and move from one side to the other with the muzzle up.

All while still maintaining the ballistic advantage of a longer barrel.
