The Pioneer Arms Hellpup AK pistol delivers classic AK reliability in a compact platform chambered in 7.62x39mm. This pistol configuration features an SB Tactical stabilizing brace for enhanced control and accuracy during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional AK rifles, the Hellpup maintains the proven AK operating system while meeting pistol length requirements through its shorter barrel configuration. The inclusion of an SB Tactical brace provides three points of contact for improved stability without requiring NFA registration. Manufacturing tolerances meet mil-spec standards with a chrome-lined barrel rated for over 10,000 rounds of standard ball ammunition.
Key Features
- 7.62x39mm chambering with standard AK magazine compatibility
- SB Tactical stabilizing brace with adjustable length of pull
- Chrome-lined barrel with 1:10 twist rate for bullet stabilization
- Stamped steel receiver with reinforced trunnions
- Standard AK safety selector and trigger group
- Picatinny rail sections for optics and accessories
- Polymer furniture resistant to impact and temperature extremes
Field testing demonstrates consistent 3-4 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition at 100 yards. The gas system cycles reliably with steel-cased and brass ammunition from -20°F to 120°F operating temperatures. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar configurations for vehicle operations where compact size and stopping power are priorities.
