Produced in Turkey by Derya Arms, the Rock Island Armory VRBP-100 is one of many affordable Turkish-produced firearms we’ve seen in recent years. Given that NFA regulation controls the allowable barrel length for over-the-counter scatterguns, Rock Island Armory sought a bullpup configuration with its VRBP-100 with a reduced overall length for defensive use. And the repeater feeds from detachable-box magazines.
The gun is built with a unique upper-receiver arrangement machined from aluminum that places the action to the rearmost position possible, providing a compact package and while remaining compliant with NFA regulation. A 20” barrel is provided here. Shooters will find AR-style controls and features sprinkled throughout the VRBP-100. At the rear of the gun, there’s a bolt catch and release, as well as the push-button magazine release. The charging handle is located just above the fore-end on the left side of the gun and is non-reciprocating.
The VRBP-100 provides options for sighting systems and accessories. A flattop Picatinny rail begins just forward of the ejection port. Rock Island supplies a pair of folding sight for immediate, out-of-the-box use. A five-round detachable box magazine ships with the bullpup. Extended magazines are available through the manufacturer at additional cost.
Rock Island Armory’s VRBP-100 is a customizable platform that allows shooters to fit the gun to their requirements. At the rear, just forward of the rubber recoil pad, are removable spacers for length-of-pull adjustment. A removable comb is provided that can be adjusted for aligning the shooter’s eye to the target.
