This video details the development of the Croatian VHS bullpup rifle, starting with a modified French FAMAS prototype. IM Metal (now HS Produkt) adapted the FAMAS receiver and barrel, simplifying its design and aiming to convert its complex lever-delayed blowback to a gas piston system. Key modifications included relocating the charging handle and reducing weight by removing unnecessary FAMAS components like the barrel sleeve and bipod mount.
