"it's in service with a lot of countries, I'm glad it's back in the United States"........Steyr guy: "It's in service for up to right now 64 countries"....pause.....Shooting range guy: "So if your looking for something a litte...... XDXD
Am I the only one who finds the regular appearance of the AUG to be absolutely repulsive? I prefer the look of it without the regular optic that's on it; and a forward-facing pic rail.. Anyways, they should chamber this shit in 7.62x51N. That would be pretty interesting..
@ShadeStalker1915 i like they way you think... :) it would be wonderful if they chambered that puppy(haha bullpup joke?) in 7.62x51 it would be beastly
@johncenaforeverever not really, u dont have the same accuracy as normal guns and the knockdown power and internal damage is absolutly crap coz of the low energy round. anyways the SA80A2(L85A2) is the best assault rifle in the world, its officially the most accurate rifle made and just got everything good about it in a smaller packet
@badgerattoadhall yh sure it accurate, but tink bout how long the M16 has been in production, how many companies make AR-15 upgrades and how many people use it ect. the L85 been around for ALOT less time, it has so little accessories that u can actully name them. litterally SUSAT/ACOG, a flashlight, RIS and UGL, and foregrip and maybe a bipod. and thats made it to this status already, when the AR platform has millions of products just for it...
@QRNPTBUZ Actually the barrel length of the m16a2/a4 (20 inches) and the barrel length of the l85 (20.4 in), the rifling (1:7) in both and the ammo matter the most so they should be very similar to each other. Tacticool accessories aside.
oh the forgrip on the l85 is also the bipod...the grip pod!
@badgerattoadhall yh they both fire 5.56 and .223 and so what if the barrel is .4inch shorter?? yes they are both nearly the same, but L85 was designed for CQB and long range, where as they AR-15 was for medium-long range. also the LMG version of the L85 has a barrel which is longer than a Barrett .50 in half the size, so range can be tripled to 800m. and the grip desingn depends on the user, some use Grips, some use grip-pods and some use bipods
i handled the steyr at a gun show and i instantly hated it. i shouldered it and its really uncomfortable. then i dry fired it, and the trigger feels like old rubber bands it was bad.
You guys remind me of Jim Carry from "Dumb and Dumber". Where at the beginning of the movie he cant tell the difference between Australia and Austria. HA HA HA! Americans... sometimes the stereotypes are true! WOW you guys make the rest of us look bad in front of the world.
@TheMedievalMan why dont you try to fight us then we will embarres you ahahaha if your british we done it twice why not make it a 3rd and if your german a 2nd
@GGNASSASSIN Or maybe its people that say an American is ignorant, for saying there are many Americans who are ignorant, when ignorant, that the American who said there are ignorant Americans, is really an American, who is really the ignorant American?
@kecktrosity yes the steyr aug was the first bullpup design. All other bulpup rifles are derived from it. They are sweet rifles but are a little pricey at 1800.00 my opinion they are well worth it and are super easy to control.
when the war comes, i want an AUG by my side, an austrlian solider told me taht this rifle was exalent, and that guys has fired a lot of military wepons, as the l85 a2, m4, m16, ak 47 and ak74, g36, i was in service in afganistan and i guees he is a serius solider
I seriously think Bulpups are the way to go. Newer designs seem to address the issues of bulpups most shooters have while barely changing their performance compared to an assault rifle. The Tar-21 and F2000 are also nice bulpup rifles.
We meet again! Yes, making the barrel go all the way through the gun is better for the making of CQB weapons, because think about it, if you took the barrel out of an M4 and used it for a bullpup, the gun would be tiny, and the AUG is pretty much the same length as an M4 but with the added barrel length that the bullpup design entails. The F2000 and the Tavor are also great weapons.
P.S. If the M4 is so crappy.... why do almost all Special Forces use them.... no SA-80s, no AUGs just M4s and G-36s. Same goes of handguns... the 1911 is the most used handgun among SF as well. No Glocks. This isn't a slight against Austrians or English, just an observation.... I agree Colt doesn't make the best products. (Fabrique Nationale makes our stuff now). But HK makes some damn good firearms too. Also, Steyr doesn't exist anymore. Don't hate just because they are American guns!
@TheReaganCole Ok the issue you fail to see here is the development cost. You do realize M4s scored the lowest in all trials compared to the SCAR and better competitor XM8. The reason why American declined at the offer of the XM8 was both development costs and it's modular system being expensive.
If you do a report on every individual service equipment in Iraq for Americans, you would find out that we aren't really being outfitted for quality, it's all cheap parts and pieces to be affordable.
@FatalFist I don't believe we were discussing the best battle rifles in the world, I believe we were discussing the Aug and M4. Yes the m4 is waayyy cheaper than the SCAR or XM8. I have actually fired both of these. Not one is perfect, the m4 with a gas piston controls better on full auto than a SCAR, The XM8 is bulky as shit (more than the Bushmaster ACR). Plus a built in carry handle is dumb, That is always phased out to be removable. Both excellent weapons though.
Also its hard to justify spending $2000 on a bare rifle when the m4 is $900 and works fine as long as you give to a professional soldier who cleans his rifle every day. Its even harder to justify spending more money during an unpopular war because some retards think these bastards will just stay in their own borders if we don't do something!
Yeah I understand the whole cheap factor and training being taught. It's just at the same time the XM8 would of easily been the working horse of all branches in our military, albeit expensive... but it shows the soldier you're in it for their safety as much as the win of the war. Right now there's barely any moral, it's all self taught by those who put their lives on the line, something simple can go a long ways.
@TheReaganCole the cost of the rifle at 1800.00 + is what keeps it out of the hands of the USA infantry. Personally I think it is one of the best weapon designs ever but military don't buy because of the cost. Why give someone an 1800.00 rifle when you can get them into a cheap ar15 for 1000.00 or an ak 47 for about 700.00 mostly only the special forces use it and swat teams.
Well, I really like my AUG, but I've used it a few times in speed drills, and what I have seen is that the mag change is about the slowest. You can't dump it w/o using both hands, and you can't use another mag to press the release 'cause even a full mag won't drop free. But I really like a lot about this thing, since the ditched that POS 1.5 permanent scope. Great optics make the accuracy shine. Price is a big factor, you spend too much on the rifle, you cant afford the bullets! HA!
@TheReaganCole Well Mr. Reagan when I first had my rifle i was having the same issue the magazine was getting stuck in the well and needed two hands to get it out. This rifle is very picky about mags. From my observation the PMAG is the best it wont get stuck allowing you to take it out with one hand. I put my left thumb on button and pulldown with my other 4 fingers. Rifles have breakin periods too. I loaded and unloaded my rifle about 200 times before it work properly.
@TheCashistrash Hey, I just sent my AUG back to the factory to get the mag catch reworked. I tried to load/unload a bunch over a case of beer and Band of Brothers. After beer 8 and the successful invasion of France, a PMAG got terribly stuck and required some serious pulling to remove. Then I tried a GI Mag that I had to disassemble while in the rifle to get it out! They said it was a commom problem and they had a solution for it, so... fingers crossed
@TheReaganCole Hey here is a video of how you speed reload with a Pmag on an AUG. I know you can't press the button with another magazine and magazine drops on its own cuz of the bullpup design won't allow it. Yet i still think this is plenty fast. look at the video its my buddie shooting his own AUG. We both own one cuz we like them By the way ditch those orange stock magazines they suck youtube.com/watch?v=xBbJhv39IUM
@SEALofthefuture1962 Yeah, it is about like other bullpups. It has a small amount of play before you get to the break like most 2 stage triggers, but the break is real tough. I have not measured it, but it feels like 9 pounds. I have, found a machined trigger that is supposed to slip into the plastic trigger group that is said to drop it to below what a mil-spec trigger runs on an M4. I may try it out, but its like $75 from a no name company, so I want to find out if it really works first.
@MudHut67 ... yeah... I didn't say "The World" I said SF... this stands for Special Forces. Check out their pics. If you read ANYTHING about Delta Force... They all carry 1911s smoothed out and tooled by the best pistolsmiths on the planet. Or the masad... if not a MP5, they use an M4. I can't think of a single Army that soley carries the 1911.
Yes dumb ass and I said the world in context of your comment in which you talk about SF, follow? Delta force is not the world and neither is Israel. And like I said many around the world use or used the M4 but more and more you see it being replaced with better weaponry.
@MudHut67 SAS, Seals, Delta, Green Beret, Masad, Spetznaz (post Commie), Force Recon, Austrailian SF.= "The World" of SF still is most often seen with the 1911. I did not disagree that the M4 is being replaced. There are many fine weapons out there. The army just put in a large order for the SCAR. My original post was against POTG saying it was crap. IF you are not retarded and clean your rifle, it always works. If you want to resort to name calling, you must use both of your brain cells
Here m8 read back in the comments and see who was the one being a condescending ass. SAS use P228s and 6s. Delta and Green Berets are American ( though im sure SOCOM favoured the M9 in trials). Spetsnaz use Russian weaponry, not feckin M4s and 45s. I cant think of any ex USSR special forces that used m4s. As for the M4 being crap; it may be a decent weapon in its own right but the fact that other systems run as good or better and need less maintenance make them superior.
I have the MSAR AUG with the Aussie Upgrades, props to Austrian thinking. Cool rifle, but you should do a little homework on the purpose of the AUG. The idea of this rifle is flawed, it is a small package to do close (Bulidings) work, but you can't switch shoulders without changing the bolt (casings in the face). The M4 can, and will "slice the pie" a lot faster without exposing bodyparts.... so that will mean death the the guy who can't switch shoulders. Thus, not the best for close work.
It's pretty neat how fast you could swap off the barrel and all... But from the looks of it, it might be a little too easy to accidently pop the barrel off just by grabing the front grip the wrong way.
next year i have to go to the austrian army "Bundesheer" and i am shocked!........how ugly is it now??? they have ruined it. i hope i get the old design AUG................
this new Styer was desgined by the New Zealand Defence Forces because they wanted their styers to be more modular to fit accesories and the new NZDF sighting system... and also they wanted it shorter with tighter rifling. So this styer is actually way better than the old one. for those reasons. At first Styer was like "why do u want to do that? But once they had a look they picked up the design.
Actually this is an american redesign of the old Steyr AUG A3 so that it could retain it's quick barrel change feature that wasn't in the old version of the A3.
This one is called the "Steyr AUG/A3 SA USA"
The NZDF actually buy their steyrs from Australia. And the rifle you're talking about is i think actually the proposed Austeyr F88A4. Which isn't in full production yet.
wow us Aussies have modded that beast to be so much better also this video implies its a American gun its Austrian and u guys can go bak to playing with your crappy m4s and m16s
also to the stupid cod nerds the aug hbar is the styer but the Australian modification also hbar is heavy barrel yes thts right it goes from a rife to a lmg this guns almost perfect also has interchangeable so you can go from left handed to right handed
@haydenage oh yeah crappy m4's and m16's, that must explain why so many guns are based off that platform and why thyve been in use since vietnam, dumbass
@haydenage This weapon is shit buddy. Im not an M4 fan, but we DO have weapons like the Springfield M1A rifles. You can keep your crap 5.56mm AUG, and Ill take my SOCOM 16 EBR, which is 7.62mm btw
@haydenage Aussie is short for AUSTRALIAN, lol and you wrote australian instead of austrian. Not a perfectionist just helping you from making the same mistake twice :)
@haydenage Wow, talk your own country up much while dissing others? How does this video imply that this is an American gun? The whole time he's talking about it finally coming into the country. Why would an American gun have to be imported to America? Also by calling people who play cod nerds, you are referring to yourself as one, as you play cod. I play video games, but I also own rifles, the two are NOT related in ANY way.
@haydenage (part one) Wow you’re a douche that likes to talk out his ass….we know it is an Austrian rifle, there is an old law on the books in the bans the importation of military style rifles for civilian sales, this rifle will be built under contract in the US by sabre defense (that is why you are mistaken about the US overtones) but you know it all son….
@haydenage (part 2) “u guys can go back to playing with your crappy m4s and m16s” & pray tell what is so crappy about them ?by crappy you mean ironically American which means being the small fuckpigs that Australians are reflexively put down anything perceived to be American & then puff about anything you can convince yourself is Australian. You are better than us at everything this coming from a country who calls us arrogant yeah. If they are so “crappy” why does the SASR use the ar-15 then?
@haydenage (part 3) no, the Hbar was made by steyr to fill the fireteam LMG role, it has a heaver longer barrel and a 42 round magazine..it is used by Luxemburg as their LMG…the a machine rifle is far from perfect and has been dropped by most (rich) countries that have tried to adopt one like the UK w/ the dropping of the l86 and replacing it with the FN Minimi…the same minimi used by Australia in the lmg role (not the automatic rifle).
@haydenage Part 4 “wow us Aussies have modded that beast to be so much better” back to puffing yourself up the f88 is a AUGa1 with a rifle twist for 5.56 NATO instead of .223 as well as a bayonet lug for and ar15 bayonet. Am I missing any other “mods” that have been done to this “beast”? BTW this is a AUGa3
@WrProgamer well he did say aussies, so i assumed it was australian, so don't call me a dumb ass for not knowing random facts that don't actually matter
We call it the f88 Ausstyre in australa and its not that cracked up to be. Its actually a garbidge weapon i've fired it, my 22. has more recoil

Its even harder to justify spending more money during an unpopular war because some retards think these bastards will just stay in their own borders if we don't do something!

@TheReaganCole
Yeah I understand the whole cheap factor and training being taught. It's just at the same time the XM8 would of easily been the working horse of all branches in our military, albeit expensive... but it shows the soldier you're in it for their safety as much as the win of the war. Right now there's barely any moral, it's all self taught by those who put their lives on the line, something simple can go a long ways.

@TheReaganCole the cost of the rifle at 1800.00 + is what keeps it out of the hands of the USA infantry. Personally I think it is one of the best weapon designs ever but military don't buy because of the cost. Why give someone an 1800.00 rifle when you can get them into a cheap ar15 for 1000.00 or an ak 47 for about 700.00 mostly only the special forces use it and swat teams.

Well, I really like my AUG, but I've used it a few times in speed drills, and what I have seen is that the mag change is about the slowest. You can't dump it w/o using both hands, and you can't use another mag to press the release 'cause even a full mag won't drop free. But I really like a lot about this thing, since the ditched that POS 1.5 permanent scope. Great optics make the accuracy shine. Price is a big factor, you spend too much on the rifle, you cant afford the bullets! HA!
TheReaganCole 1 year ago
@TheReaganCole Well Mr. Reagan when I first had my rifle i was having the same issue the magazine was getting stuck in the well and needed two hands to get it out. This rifle is very picky about mags. From my observation the PMAG is the best it wont get stuck allowing you to take it out with one hand. I put my left thumb on button and pulldown with my other 4 fingers. Rifles have breakin periods too. I loaded and unloaded my rifle about 200 times before it work properly.
TheCashistrash 1 year ago
@TheCashistrash Hey, I just sent my AUG back to the factory to get the mag catch reworked. I tried to load/unload a bunch over a case of beer and Band of Brothers. After beer 8 and the successful invasion of France, a PMAG got terribly stuck and required some serious pulling to remove. Then I tried a GI Mag that I had to disassemble while in the rifle to get it out! They said it was a commom problem and they had a solution for it, so... fingers crossed
TheReaganCole 1 year ago
@TheReaganCole Hey here is a video of how you speed reload with a Pmag on an AUG. I know you can't press the button with another magazine and magazine drops on its own cuz of the bullpup design won't allow it. Yet i still think this is plenty fast. look at the video its my buddie shooting his own AUG. We both own one cuz we like them By the way ditch those orange stock magazines they suck youtube.com/watch?v=xBbJhv39IUM

@TheReaganCole Hows the AUG trigger? Like other bullpups?
SEALofthefuture1962 1 year ago
@SEALofthefuture1962 Yeah, it is about like other bullpups. It has a small amount of play before you get to the break like most 2 stage triggers, but the break is real tough. I have not measured it, but it feels like 9 pounds. I have, found a machined trigger that is supposed to slip into the plastic trigger group that is said to drop it to below what a mil-spec trigger runs on an M4. I may try it out, but its like $75 from a no name company, so I want to find out if it really works first.
TheReaganCole 1 year ago
@TheReaganCole
Thats not true. While a lot of countries use the M4 they are being replaced. The 1911 is not the most used around the world.
MudHut67 1 year ago
@MudHut67 ... yeah... I didn't say "The World" I said SF... this stands for Special Forces. Check out their pics. If you read ANYTHING about Delta Force... They all carry 1911s smoothed out and tooled by the best pistolsmiths on the planet. Or the masad... if not a MP5, they use an M4. I can't think of a single Army that soley carries the 1911.
TheReaganCole 1 year ago
@TheReaganCole
Yes dumb ass and I said the world in context of your comment in which you talk about SF, follow? Delta force is not the world and neither is Israel. And like I said many around the world use or used the M4 but more and more you see it being replaced with better weaponry.
MudHut67 1 year ago
@MudHut67 SAS, Seals, Delta, Green Beret, Masad, Spetznaz (post Commie), Force Recon, Austrailian SF.= "The World" of SF still is most often seen with the 1911. I did not disagree that the M4 is being replaced. There are many fine weapons out there. The army just put in a large order for the SCAR. My original post was against POTG saying it was crap. IF you are not retarded and clean your rifle, it always works. If you want to resort to name calling, you must use both of your brain cells
TheReaganCole 1 year ago
@TheReaganCole
Here m8 read back in the comments and see who was the one being a condescending ass. SAS use P228s and 6s. Delta and Green Berets are American ( though im sure SOCOM favoured the M9 in trials). Spetsnaz use Russian weaponry, not feckin M4s and 45s. I cant think of any ex USSR special forces that used m4s. As for the M4 being crap; it may be a decent weapon in its own right but the fact that other systems run as good or better and need less maintenance make them superior.
MudHut67 1 year ago
I have the MSAR AUG with the Aussie Upgrades, props to Austrian thinking. Cool rifle, but you should do a little homework on the purpose of the AUG. The idea of this rifle is flawed, it is a small package to do close (Bulidings) work, but you can't switch shoulders without changing the bolt (casings in the face). The M4 can, and will "slice the pie" a lot faster without exposing bodyparts.... so that will mean death the the guy who can't switch shoulders. Thus, not the best for close work.

It's pretty neat how fast you could swap off the barrel and all... But from the looks of it, it might be a little too easy to accidently pop the barrel off just by grabing the front grip the wrong way.

this new Styer was desgined by the New Zealand Defence Forces because they wanted their styers to be more modular to fit accesories and the new NZDF sighting system... and also they wanted it shorter with tighter rifling. So this styer is actually way better than the old one. for those reasons. At first Styer was like "why do u want to do that? But once they had a look they picked up the design.

Actually this is an american redesign of the old Steyr AUG A3 so that it could retain it's quick barrel change feature that wasn't in the old version of the A3.
This one is called the "Steyr AUG/A3 SA USA"
The NZDF actually buy their steyrs from Australia. And the rifle you're talking about is i think actually the proposed Austeyr F88A4. Which isn't in full production yet.

@haydenage (part 2) “u guys can go back to playing with your crappy m4s and m16s” & pray tell what is so crappy about them ?by crappy you mean ironically American which means being the small fuckpigs that Australians are reflexively put down anything perceived to be American & then puff about anything you can convince yourself is Australian. You are better than us at everything this coming from a country who calls us arrogant yeah. If they are so “crappy” why does the SASR use the ar-15 then?
badgerattoadhall 1 year ago
@haydenage (part 3) no, the Hbar was made by steyr to fill the fireteam LMG role, it has a heaver longer barrel and a 42 round magazine..it is used by Luxemburg as their LMG…the a machine rifle is far from perfect and has been dropped by most (rich) countries that have tried to adopt one like the UK w/ the dropping of the l86 and replacing it with the FN Minimi…the same minimi used by Australia in the lmg role (not the automatic rifle).
badgerattoadhall 1 year ago
@haydenage Part 4 “wow us Aussies have modded that beast to be so much better” back to puffing yourself up the f88 is a AUGa1 with a rifle twist for 5.56 NATO instead of .223 as well as a bayonet lug for and ar15 bayonet. Am I missing any other “mods” that have been done to this “beast”? BTW this is a AUGa3
