This video analyzes the VHS-1, a Croatian rifle heavily influenced by the French FAMAS. It details the VHS-1's development timeline from late 1990s prototypes to its adoption by the Croatian military around 2005-2007. The rifle saw export to Kurdistan and the Iraqi Army and was produced in two main variants (D1 and K1) with options for iron sights or an integrated optic, similar to the G36 and Steyr AUG. Approximately 20,000 units were manufactured, including a limited run for the Hungarian civilian market. Lessons learned from the VHS-1 directly informed the development of its successor, the VHS-2, also known as the Springfield Hellion.
