STEYR AUG A3 USA

[AngelOfNight9]

I'll stick to my M4, not as awkward to reload

[wattlebough]

The AUG is also made under license in Australia (licensed by Steyr-Mannlicher, Austria) at Lithgow Small Arms Factory, and has seen a lot of combat with Australian Army troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. Check out my feature video and you'll see the Aussie variant F88SA3 with grenade launchers attached. Enjoy :)

[Nationofhonor]

@wattlebough Why the hell do the Australians get the Steyr AUG's and Americans get stuck with m4's? I'm going to petition my Govt. for the military to adopt a bullpup type weapon now!

[blackartas]

Why STEYR Aug USA? STEYR is an austrian company!

[bcmarshall3285]

@blackartas The A3 "USA" model is partially made with US parts to be legal in the US. It is a partnership gun made by Steyr and a US gun company.

R.I.P AUG 1977-2010

you will be missed.

[bcmarshall3285]

@gerbil224 I have it on good authority that it will be coming back soon.

[sspope]

@gerbil224 What? Elaborate please?

[bcmarshall3285]

@sspope Steyr Arms US is actively looking for a new US partner to continue building the AUG A3 USA, this time with assorted barrel lengths (cold hammer forged).

[mrWiled]

Point Blankm, Fuck Yeah!!=))

[MrBf2player]

WOOHO YEA AUSTRIA !!!

[TheJeffNasty]

I've only handled one, but even though I'm 6'5" the rifle balanced beautifully in my hands. I'm very anxious to try one at the range, and if I like it enough Ill get it over the 14.5" LWRC M6A2.

[TheUiauiauia]

quero uma aug a3 dessas :p

[DivineHardOn]

Weapon fires, weapon stops.

Down, tilt, cock, lock, look in. Empty mag. Tilt the weapon, eject the mag, press another one in. Tilt back, flick the cocking handle forward, continue firing.

[TheKimberRifleBloke]

Am I the only one who thinks a chick with an assult rifle is sexy >8D

[Blackthorne32]

I'm a lefty shooter. I see the ejection port is way back in the stock, would I get hit in the face with casings? or is it easily modified to eject to the left?

[bcmarshall3285]

@Blackthorne32 Yes, it can be switched to lefty ejection in about 1 minute. Insert a lefty bolt and switch the cover plate to the right side.

[thegunnyguy]

i have an airsoft version of this!! and please dont hate im legally too young to posses a real AUG A3 or any gun as i am only 15 :P but even the airsoft version looks and feels great

[haubi1986]

STG 77 !!!!!!!!!!!

[th0m4sSoN]

See, Austrian People know what an awesome rifle needs :D

[GooblesGoobles]

Austrian soldiers are taught to hold the weapon differently and reload way more effectively.

[TheKasperlkopf]

proud to be austrian

[peterm3964]

These also convert to 9mm from 223 in seconds .

[Riflemanm16a2]

I wish it had the A2 rail. The A3 rail looks goofy to me. Otherwise the gun looks awesome.



[triniriderz]

Oh yes but the real question is why isnt she in the kitchen......

[gudrun8768]

song this is a ?

[bcmarshall3285]

@gudrun8768 Linkin Park, "Figure 9."

[DickCheneyXX]

The girl at 1:49 will eventually get her finger pinched by the bolt.

[theandika47]

this is aug or bulpup?

[Yuritower77]

@theandika47 Both. This is an AUG 3 which is a "bulpup" type design. There are many different manufactures and firearms that incorporate this design. "Bulpup" simply means that the firing chamber is behind the trigger group making the firearm more compact and the barrel longer for a comparable weapon of non-bulpup design.

[s4ndler97]

THE AUG BECAME PART OF ME!!!!LINKIN PARK FTW!!!

[Jetgui22]

Fucking beautiful..

[guielectron]

é o rifle mais foda do world planeta mundo veiiiiiiiiiiiiii

arma linda e foda

eu com uma dessa (6

[coolcrafthotmailcom]

like your going to see police officers with an AUG

[Chitowngst]

@1:19

Completely bad-fucking ass.

[MeanEyedCats]

Is it just me, or does that woman look almost exactly like Scully in the X-Files? I'm thinking the X-Files would have been even cooler if Mulder and Scully carried Steyrs.

[Inklebonker1]

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN??? this gun is Austrian right??

[bcmarshall3285]

@Inklebonker1 The AUG A1, A2, A3 is designed and is made in Austria. The Austraillians make a version called the F88 Austeyr for their military. The AUG A3 USA is made of primarily Austrian AUG parts, but is assembled with a US made barrel and reciever (and a few smaller parts) by Steyr Arms and is consistent with Austrian spec. The AUG in it's full Austrian design/manufacture is banned from US importation. The A3 USA uses enough US made parts to be legally built and sold in the US.

[Inklebonker1]

@bcmarshall3285 Thanks this is one of my favorite european weapons along with the G41,3 the Fn FAL/FNC/p90/p2000 the MP5/7 and several others. I was just confused because i thought the title meant that this gun was American which its obviously not.

[Yuritower77]

@bcmarshall3285 What is the rational for banning the Austrian made version?

[bcmarshall3285]

@Yuritower77 There isn't a "rational" reason. All imported "assault rifles" were banned as a "crime/gun control measure." Now "assault rifles" (sketchy definitions of such) must be US made or have a certain number of US made parts to be compliant (922) with US law. German made HK rifles, real AKs, Galils, AUGs etc were specifically named by model in the ban. Only one AUG was ever traced to a crime in the US. But since movie villians used them, they must be dangerous, right?

[bulleteer1070]

@Inklebonker1 Yes

[Inklebonker1]

@bulleteer1070 thankyou

[himynameiscameron1]

@Inklebonker1 Ja

[Inklebonker1]

@himynameiscameron1 ?

[HiasMatthias]

@Inklebonker1 yes not australia just ask if you have questions i am from austria

[Inklebonker1]

@HiasMatthias ? i didn't say australian

[Sociopath33]

@Inklebonker1 its australian all imported guns have to have a fixed amount of american made parts on them to be legally sold i think they do the same thing with cars lol

[Inklebonker1]

@Sociopath33 thanks its just kinda confusing because it has usa at the end of it.

[Gillian15987]

@Inklebonker1 A AUG USA is made with some US parts to make it legal in the US

[Inklebonker1]

@Gillian15987 Ooh ok i see now.

[BFHKillermachineX2]

an austrian gun in the USA !!! i am from Austria XD

[OMGWTFMUFFINS]

@BFHKillermachineX2 Yeah I seen that lol it's sorta silly.

[23aztek]

@BFHKillermachineX2

Das ist nichts neues. Österreich ist einer der größten Waffenlieferanten. Nichts, worauf ich als Österreicher stolz bin...

[coldunderlinezero]

@23aztek

nein - zu geringe Produktion, die aus dem chronischen Vorgaukelns unserer Neutralität resultiert...

[23aztek]

@coldunderlinezero

Was die Steyr AUG betrifft, stimmt das, aber es wurden Millionen verschiedener Glocks ind Ausland verkauft. Es sind beispielsweise Standardfaustfeuerwaffen der norwegischen Armee, der Londoner Polizei, verschiedenen Spezialeinheiten der deutschen Bundespolizei und die Standardwaffe rund 2/3 der US-amerikanischen Polizeikräfte. Außerdem werden zur Ausstattung der neuen irakischen Sicherheitsbehörden Glock-Pistolen verwendet.

[coldunderlinezero]

@23aztek Ja dieser böse böse Gaston Glock lässt der doch 200.000 Pistolen in den Irak liefern und macht trotzdem jährlich "nur" 100Mio€ Umsatz, was zwar das österreichsiche Waffenexportvolumen 4x (33Mio$) übersteigt, da Glock ja n multinationaler Betrieb geworden ist, doch im Vergleich zur Top 3 der Welt (BAE, Lockheed, Boeing), die jährlich ca. 33Mrd mit Waffen/-systemen umsetzen, äußerst winzig erscheint.

So frage ich dich, stört dich etwa nur, dass man sich nicht mehr mit Steinen erschlägt?

[23aztek]

@coldunderlinezero

Bitte verstehe mich nicht falsch. Mich stört das in keiner Weise. Was mir gegen den Strich geht, ist die große Lobpreisung der Neutralität Österreichs, während es Armeen anderer Länder mit Waffen versorgt. Diese Scheinheiligkeit auf Regierungsebene.

[coldunderlinezero]

@23aztek als dem ÖBH-Anghörender kann ich dir versichern, dass du, spätestens seit der gestzlichen Freigabe für friedensSCHAFFENDE Einstätze, z.B. keinen Soldaten im ÖBH finden wirst der die Ansicht vertritt wir wären nur annähernd neutral (GWDs ausgenommen).

Abgesehen davon, wäre deiner Meinung nach Waffenhandel für einen tatsächlich neutralen Staat insofern vereinbar, dass er Waffen an allmögliche Staaten zu liefern zulässt, ganz davon abgeshen welche politischen Ziele er verfolgt?

[23aztek]

@coldunderlinezero

Na dann Prost, Kollege! Zu deinem ersten Absatz: das entspricht meiner Meinung. Ich dachte eigentlich, dass das klar herauszulesen war.

Zum zweiten Absatz: Nein, das war der falsche Umkehrschluß. Jetzt noch mal bitte und tun wir mal so, als würdest du mich verstehen -wollen-.

[07751434]

3:37 thats right kids, now the left handers can join in the carnage as well!

[Michaelam1100]

we austrian tryed to make the next assault gun for the US army . but it s too expensive to buy sooo many steyr AUG a3´s . but a little piece of ranger could have AUG´s .

[BlueonGoldZ]

I notice that before they reload, they tilt the gun and look at the chamber. Is that to see if it is locked back meaning that it is out of ammo and ready to have a new mag inserted and then the breach closed for firing?

[bcmarshall3285]

@BlueonGoldZ Yes. When a self loading rifle fails to fire (click when you want a bang), the operator needs to check the bolt/ejection port to diagnose why. If the bolt is closed, then he may need to TAP to make sure the magazine is seated, RACK clear a bad round or load an empty chamber. If the bolt is open and the chamber/mag are CLEAR, the gun needs to be reloaded, if the bolt is open but rounds are jammed, he may need to clear a double feed, broken shell, etc. Thats why you check first.

[sugarnads]

@bcmarshall3285

yeah

'weapon fails to fire, cock lock look... no rounds in the mag none in the chamber - reload'

its basic training for fail to discharge

[TMF7100]

Thumbs up if u think Steyr Weapons are awesome!!!

[MrAktenzeichenxy]

everything from austria is great -glock -st77(AUG) love my country :))

[lilo689]

This weapon is better than m4a1?

[bcmarshall3285]

@lilo689 It depends on your definition of "better". I can say the AUG is more compact, much easier to clean, easier to repair/swap parts, uses a cold hammer forged barrel, is gas-piston operated and has adjustable gas settings. The M4A1 is a great weapon, but with real education on the AUG any M4 operator will see the AUGs advantages (and a few disadvantages too). Most of my students are M4/AR-15 users. They fall in love with the AUG when properly trained. (COD does not count as training).

[lilo689]

@bcmarshall3285 hahaha, Sir, i lauged when you said "COD does not count as training", and Sir, about the power, aug is 7.62, right?

[bcmarshall3285]

@lilo689 AUG is 5.56mm. There is also a 9mm SMG variant.

[bombersrulz]

@lilo689 Hahaha nice try at trying to think you know guns.

[LiieZMuang]

@lilo689 7.62 is too big?

[lilo689]

@LiieZMuang What is your conception of big? ...7.62 is the AK-47 ammo and the brazilian(my country) idiot rifle ammo which idk the name. BTW I think that too big is a .50 cal barret ammo, and depends of what are you using it for.

[LiieZMuang]

@lilo689 urhuh the FAL something right? hehe ,u know what i mean "big"

[bcmarshall3285]

@LiieZMuang 7.62x39 is the "AK" round you are discussing, it is shorter than the 7.62x51 (pretty much the same as.308) cartridge in the FAL / L1A1 / M-14. I know the 7.62x51 is not the same as .308, its like debating 5.56 vs. .223. They are different pressures, but in some cases interchangeable.

[Cylupus]

@bcmarshall3285 I wish to ask, what do you think about the bullpup design? And how much difference is it towards the AR-15?

[bcmarshall3285]

@Cylupus Bullpups certainly benefit from the reduced overall length and 50/50 balance. You can have a short gun without the legal restrictions. Bullpups don't have adjustable stocks, which can be problematic for shooters getting a comfortable length of pull in heavy armor. Bullpups also are trickier to get a nice trigger pull because of the transfer bars that work the hammer pack, but there are ways to modify it into light and acceptable. Both are great platforms, they just take practice.

[Cylupus]

@bcmarshall3285 Thanks, i use the AUG A2 Model on my airsoft, so the closest thing i can get is the feeling :)

[Cylupus]

So now the Americans have adopted the AUG, why can't sweden do the same? :(

[Cylupus]

Earplugs in the back of the gun? hell yeah :D

[char1eston]

the aug a3 is produced and manufactured in USA, but the normall aug or f88 is manufactured in autria and australia.

[BabsControl]

@char1eston It's actually polymer, and in my experience, the polymer makes this weapon much lighter than the M4A1 variants and the M16 variants I've come across. Using Troy Sights and an Aimpoint Comp M2 on both rifles, fully zeroed and at 100 yards, has me convinced that the AUG A3 is superior.

[SaDaY131]

whAt the song??



[bcmarshall3285]

@SaDaY131 Figure 09 by Linkin Park.

[dderbis85]

us miltary should use them

[char1eston]

@dderbis85 what are you retarded im glad u.s. army dont use them because its plastic and extremely unreliable, i would pick a m4a1 or a m16 over the aug any day and im austrian.

[bcmarshall3285]

@char1eston Using "plastic" is not a bad thing. The Glock is plastic and Austrian and reliable, tons of handguns have copied this. The body of the FN-P90, FN SCAR, and many others are plastics/polymers. As far as the AUG being unreliable, I'm not sure about that conclusion. Gas piston rifles run cleaner than direct impingement guns. The AUG uses a cold hammer forged barrel that will outlast any button rifled AR. The AR platform is good, but calling AUGs "extremely unreliable" is not true.

[Panopticon51]

TILT, COCK, LOCK, LOOK IN!

[legolais1]

@Panopticon51 what does all that mean, i noticed them tilt the gun?

[ramb0nat0r]

I Think the best BullPup weapon, better than the SA80 and the QBZ95... but wait, the Tavor 21 is also really fukking great rifle

[theonemoo]

0:19 Agent Skully isn't fucking around.

[sw00p99]

What about the possibility of a catastrophic failure? Isn't it too dangerous considering the action is too close to the face?

[Gioeli76]

@sw00p99 But, you only have a 1/1,000,000,000 chance of that happening. So while it could be that catastrophic, you have pretty much no chance of it happening unless it was made by an amateur gunsmith who knows little to nothing about this awsome gun!

[DnBenjamin]

I am in love with this gun <3

[yinyanium]

Before I clicked on this video I was thinking of this song... creepy

[gabrileferrazzo]

linkin park music ?

[xSWATxRiFt]

I wonder if the SWAT uses this.. I was planning on joining since i was like 5 lol... Would be awesome if u could use one

[opmike343]

@xSWATxRiFt

There's no such thing as "the SWAT." The gear used by SWAT teams around the country varies with each department, as each department does things differently. For those with 5.56 rifles in their inventory, most will be using AR pattern rifles because they work, and won't end up being a logistics headache.

[Kekkon3n]

@opmike343 Also I'd imagine that the caliber used in a mission is also dependent on the mission, because of over penetration for example.. Also I'd imagine some swat members could use their personal firearms.

[arerakagu]

I love Aug a3

[z0ne93]

@PilotDani ok^^

no problem :) but take care about him^^

[z0ne93]

@PilotDani Steyr-Mannlicher is an austrian company!

they inventet the Steyr Stg 77 (Sturmgewehr 77) or better known as Steyr AUG A0/A1(Army universal Gun ) in 1977 for the austrian army. The astralian Army have the Steyr Aug known as F88, also the Royal New Zealand Forces have this gun.

The new cover versions of the Aug, often designed and build like the A3 are mostly produced in the US...

and can you explain what you meant with mexico?

[curseofa5r5a]

I LOVE THIS RIFLE

[z0ne93]

and where was it developed?

of course in Austria ;D

[americanfamilynow]

janet napolitano would look HOT wearing one of those! haha
