At IDEX 2015 in the United Arab Emirates, Croatian factory HS Produkt and its parent firm Agencija Alan LLC were showing off some of their latest products, including the enormous 20×110 Hispano-Suiza anti-materiel cannon, the RT-20:

In the foreground of the above picture is also visible the MACS M4 .50 BMG caliber sniper rifle, with its distinctive polymer magazine. More photos of that are below:

The formidable muzzle device surely helps tame the recoil of the half-inch wide caliber.

Of course, HS Produkt also brought their VHS-2 assault rifle, recently submitted to the French assault rifle tender:

Two VHS-2s serve as backup for the original VHS rifle in this display. The somewhat plain, almost Glock-esque soft rectangular lines of the original design have been replaced by highly aggressive molding and texturing, and an almost dizzying number of surface details. The new VHS-2, perhaps more than any other modern rifle, appears ready to reveal its true nature as a transforming robot.

Most likely designed with Croat forces in mind, this VHS-2 features an optics mount very similar to the original VHS.

In contrast, most VHS-2s feature full-length picatinny rails.

Thanks to Giorgio for the pictures and information.

they make good handguns, but their rifles are uglier than hi points.

I dunno why, but I really like the look of the VHS 2. Be curious to see some test data to see how it performs, and if it is adopted by anyone.
