This video delves into the Vektor H5, a unique pump-action variant of the South African R4/R5 Galil rifle. Introduced in the early 1990s to circumvent stricter regulations on semi-automatic rifles, the H5 found popularity with private security firms, leading to a specialized version. The design emphasizes retaining standard Galil parts, omitting the gas system, and featuring a new top cover, safety, and pump-action handguard. Notably, iron sights were replaced with a scope rail, and the rifles were typically shipped with a 4x32 scope. The market for the H5 diminished around 2000 as South African gun laws evolved to simplify semi-automatic rifle permits. The video showcases two examples provided by a private collector.
