Produkt showed at the DSEi 2009 of London the final
version of production of its bull pup assault rifle,
the VHS. Intended to equip the Croatian army with
a weapon in conformity with the NATO standards (ammunition
of 5,56x45mm principally), the last version of the
VHS is characterized in particular by the use of
slot-in plastic magazines and a very contained weight.
First presentation of the VHS has place in 2005
and its first public presentation at the time of
the Eurosatory 2008. After tests of resistances
(whose in particular first deployment of 50 specimens
in Afghanistan), a first order of 10,000 rifles
VHS was placed on May 15th, 2009 by the Croatian
army to still replace the local derivatives of rifle
AK-47 in services, and other batches of the VHS
should be ordered soon to entirely re-equip the
Croatian forces. Until now the VHS whole satisfaction
gave to its users and represents a notable evolution
compared to the preceding weapons used in Croatia.

| Description |
| Technically
the VHS is a gas operated weapon that uses
direct impingement gas system. Barrel locking
is achieved by more or less traditional
rotating bolt, the maximum rate of shooting
being of 750 blows per minute for a speed
of the projectiles of 950m/s. the weapon
has a rail under the hand-shield allowing
fixing of accessories like a handle of shooting,
bipod or underbarrel grenade-launcher. The
last version of the VHS is characterized
especially by the use of fit-on plastic
chargers containing 30 cartridges and a
weight very contained of 3kg, thanks to
the use of synthetic materials. Two versions
of the VHS are available: the standard version
(VHS-D) with a gun of 500mm and a version
compacts (VHS-K) with a gun of 400mm.
