A.I is getting crazy
Yeah that's kind of funny, there is no way a real woman would be so dispassionate. She would either hate guns or be "yee haw"
Good point on the middle finger placement. I usually just turn it up and point it towards the left.
I don't know a single person that has had as many malfunctions with this gun like you had
Although the ejection was never really that robust, we had zero malfunctions during our series of videos last year. .But in the middle of winter with temps at teens and below (and 6,000 feet elevation) we're getting a malf every mag or so. Things warm back up and all's fine again.
No problems with AR or RDB.

@@AmbGun I am trying to understand why is this happening to you. We had competitions in Croatia in january with modern sporting rifles, freezing temperatures, no one with the VHS had a single malfunction and plenty people have it here. We shot NATO surplus which you can get in stores and GGG .223.
@@ivanhorvat1995 My hypothesis is that is the combination of low temperatures and high elevation. I know that my RDB gas settings are a bit different when we travel to Texas (lower elevation and hot).
You should have sent back to SA for repair or replacement.
I have multiple friends with Hellions, thar shoot in cold & high, mountainous elevations… with Zero problems.
Likely is something with Your gun.
The temperature thing is weird. Based on your elevation hypothesis you’d think a colder temp would be more reliable cause you’d get a lower density altitude on colder days. Mine operated fine in blizzard conditions in western SD at around 3,500ft altitude. I even buried the rifle in the snow to see how it performed.
Yeah variables at odds. I'm not sure which variable is involved if either. Is the analysis altered when the barrel heats up creating a local high temperature coupled with high altitude? Is temperature affect more on expansion of gas system parts? Or cartridge components? And why are the ARs unaffected? Temperature affects on magazine?
Maybe it's not environment at all. Lead fouling of the gas port?
And while I've frequently field stripped the gas system, I have not disassembled the adjustment knob side of things.
Or something else altogether.
Love your vids 👍
Insightful video
I'm completely distracted by the robotic native girl in the bottom right corner. I know it's a narration software overlay, but she knods and blinks, smirks when he says "I had to pee" and just stares at me during the entire review
That inappropriate smirk is why I fired her.
The question for me is like others I'm sure is the rdb or ar . Instead of the hellion take the 1k saved buy a sight red dot or lpvo and ammo
What is your opinion as a end all ambitious gun. Based on your current testing and experience
A high speed Ambi paintballer will prefer the RDB. But a well ambied AR paired with the Mantis BlackbeardX is probably best for most.
Going further, 70% of gun buyers might be better served with a Henry 17HMR or Henry Ling Ranger 5.56 lever action...video as to why is forthcoming
Yeah, I don't like how that optic rail is mounted. I agree that long-term use will loosen it up.
I also agree with your highly scientific statement based on years of testing the VHS-2, that the long-term use will loosen the optic rail up. Since they started making it here, most of the croatian army's VHS-2's optic rails have loosened up, and we are now the stormtrooper division of the NATO.
Bummer. I wanted to be wrong in my hypothesis.
No, it won’t.
And you have zero proof to the contrary.
The things we complain about.
Interesting vid, Sir.
I know many who have & shoot the SA VHS 2.
And virtually none have all of the problems & complaints, as you.
So… I’ll get one.
Thank you.
Hopefully someone offers an adjustable gas block for the Hellion. For those in milder climates, maybe not needed...still I hope in a future iteration Springfield or HS Produkt adds it.
At 8:08 in your video while you’re scrolling through the website you can see better examples of where it should be mounted.
Yep, that's how most students show up to a Project Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Clinic.
If the many who own one.
Few, if any, have a problem with the LOP.
And NONE, keep getting popped by the rear sight.
Better luck in the future to you, Sir.
LOP is long. And shooters do notice. Not a terrible problem, but I do prefer MDR and RDB's LOP.
Know many who own/shoot Hellion.
None find the LOP a problem.
@@jpmriccardi It's not terrible, but noticeable when doing ambi transitions while wearing body armor or chest mounted mag pouches. Also when shooting one handed, it's a tiny bit more awkward feeling than the MDR or especially the RDB.
you have that scope mounted WAYYY too far forward buddy. It’s the reason you keep getting smacked in the eye by the rear iron sight.
"Turkey neck, cheek weld" is one of the keys for consistent marksmanship. And for heavier recoiling calibers, the head rides back with the buttstock to eliminate scope bite. Scope in this position is setup for a relaxed cheek weld for offhand, low magnification and for turkey neck cheek weld prone at high magnification for precision.
As a Project Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Instructor, I routinely see students show up with their rifle scopes mounted rearward...very few earn their "Rifleman Patch" score without moving it forward. Rearward mounting works fine for benchrest shooting....fine for offhand, mediocre for sitting, and poorly for prone.

@AmbGun that's mostly because you will have different eye relief for different stances. You're never really going to be in those stances with a sling on a two way range. You should have a natural neck posture when possible, craning your neck forward is not good for you and much less repeatable.
You might try different ammo, the Frontier isn't known for the best quality.
Really man?! I've had great luck with it. Multiple of my guns shoot sub moa 10 rounds groups with it and I've never had reliability issues with it.
Edit: I've shot close to 3k rounds of it, and we'll over 100k of federal/winchester lake city, I find them equal in quality but Frontier has better accuracy.)
What's been your experience?
@@libertarianGO huh...what are you shooting it out of?
@@WellDressedCaveman all sorts guns. The majority was my m16 and m249 in the marine corps, and then my m4 and m16 i built (im an sot2) when i got out.
I have a keltec rdb amd several other 5.56 type rifles and pistols, varrying rates of fire. The frontier 68hr and 75gr 5.56 load is ehat i keep on hand for accuracy testing my buikds for customers.
Overall hornady custom or eld series is much more accurate but im still getting moa snd mostly sub moa with the frontier. Even the 55gr bthp match frontier load has been good to me just not as consistent.
77grain was by 307 Ammo. Also tried PMC Xtac.
We did have a batch of Frontier frequently blowing primers that would lock up our AR's. RDB digested it, blown primers and all, just fine.
