The Springfield Hellion 5.56 10-Round is the low-capacity version of the bullpup Hellion from Springfield Armory, built for restrictive locales and shipping with a 10-round Magpul magazine (Springfield Armory part no. HL916556BLC). The bullpup layout puts the action and magazine behind the trigger, so a 16-inch barrel fits in an overall length of 28.25 inches. Ambidextrous controls and a reversible case ejection system let it run from either shoulder. It is a compact, handy rifle for home defense, range use and tight spaces.
