At one point, we were told the longer the rifle, the better.
Then, we were told that shorter barrels are essential for maneuverability and weight distribution.
The truth probably sits somewhere in the middle.
The Hellion has a futuristic and striking design that looks tactical while still keeping a clean and sleek vibe.
So, lets sit down and talk aboutwhy I think you should add a bullpup to your collection.
But what does the added 6 get you?
That extra 300 or so fps is nothing to scoff at.
Since the bullpup design is compact, you can still use a full-length barrel while keeping an overall length closer to that of an SBR.
This allows for a noticeable increase in range and terminal results.
Reason #2: Maneuverability
A significant advantage for shorter-barreled rifles is maneuverability.
Bullpups are also able to do these things while keeping their barrel length at a full 16.
Home defense is a great use for a bullpup rifle.
Reason #3: Improved Balance
Nobody likes a front-heavy rifle.
A goal when having a shorter barrel is to have more weight tucked in closer to the body.
The compact design makes for easy maneuverability in small areas, and a very good choice for home defense.
Again, bullpups fix these issues without losing that length in your barrel.
Weight distribution is a huge factor when talking about fatigue, and a bullpup might have a benefit here.
The action sits in the buttstock area of the gun.
Shouldering the Hellion is very comfortable due to the adjustable length of pull and cheek rest. The excellent balance reduces fatigue when held for any length of time.
Being able to hold the gun closer to your body also helps with keeping your arms from getting fatigued.
Reason #4: Ambidextrous
One notable benefit of theHellion bullpupis the fact it is ambidextrous.
Being able to switch shoulders is very important for many scenarios, but is especially important for close-quarters encounters.
Ambidextrous controls give southpaw shooters full control over a bullpup like the Hellion. Also, the Hellion has a reversible ejection port — a huge draw for many shooters.
However, with rifles like the Hellion,you might swap ejection to the left side.
This makes it possible to swap this to a left-handed firearm completely.
Its great to see these kinds of things available because its almost always a net positive.
The author stated that the Hellion has one of the best factory triggers on a bullpup rifle he has ever used.
No one loses anything when a function on the gun can be used either left-handed or right-handed.
For one, the trigger is actually quite good for a bullpup.
One of the most common complaints youve probably heard about bullpups is their triggers.
You know, theyre always spongey and have too much travel.
This is subjective, of course, but I really like the Hellions trigger.
It feels far better than the standard set for bullpup triggers.
I absolutely believe that the Hellion is the most customizable bullpup from the factory.
Its ready for a suppressor with its adjustable gas system.
It also comes with some quite goodback-up iron sights right from the factory.
The gun is great for anyone who wants to add lasers, lights or launch the rifle suppressed.
Conclusion
Should bullpups be as divisive as they can be for some people?Probably not.
I personally think that the more competition, the better for consumers.
