The VHS-D is a bullpup assault rifle designed and manufactured by Croatian firearms company HS-Produkt
The basic VHS-D2 assault rifle is a gas operated, select-fire weapon with rotary bolt locking and a manual gas regulator. It features dual ejection windows on both sides of the receiver, so the user can select which side to eject the spent cartridges. However, this operation does require partial disassembly of the gun.
All controls (safety / fire selector, charging handle, bolt hold-open device release lever, magazine catch) are ambidextrous as well. The polymer receiver is equipped with an adjustable buttpad that allows for change of length of pull up to 5 cm. This rifle is available either with an integrated MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rail above the receiver and back-up iron sight on removable bases, or with integrated 1.5X optical telescopic sight. An indigenous 40mm grenade launcher can be mounted below the barrel. These rifles are compatible with most types of STANAG (M16-type) magazines. Magazine housing is provided with ambidextrous paddle-type magazine release located just behind the magazine.
