The Pioneer Arms Hellpup AK pistol delivers authentic AK-pattern reliability in a compact 7.62x39 platform. This Polish-manufactured firearm combines traditional wood furniture with modern manufacturing precision for shooters demanding proven performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard AK rifles, the Hellpup configuration eliminates the stock while maintaining the full-power 7.62x39 cartridge capability. The 10.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity retention while keeping overall length manageable. Polish manufacturing ensures proper heat treatment and dimensional tolerances that meet military specifications.
