The AUG is one of the best service rifles ever made. The modernization made to the platform was lackluster, and the models sold directly by the manufacturer were limited. With the right aftermarket, it's perfectly capable, even with advanced NV/Thermal setups, standing on similar ground to an AR. Also, the trigger can be adjusted, people have performed great in competition with stock AUG trigger, therefore it isn't a big issue in a practical way.
Over 32 countries have adopted it after testing for their primary battle weapon. To top it off it replaced the FAL ! Not easy to do as it was phenomenal as well !!!!!
The level of ignorance in this video is shocking. BTW The trigger actually is adjustable. Take the stock off look above the trigger see that hex nut that's your trigger adjustment. That's actually the most excusable part of the ignorance.
Australia tested against the AR 15 and they ended up going with the Aug it beat the AR 15 in just about every category including reliability and durability.We as Americans tend to look down our noses at other platforms but Bullpups have a lot of advantages over the AR especially when it comes to performance in adverse conditions. Don’t get me wrong AR15s have advantages like modularity and unrivaled after market support, but Bullpups are not just novelty guns, they are viable fighting rifles.
@@hondomclean6759 AUG is a prescision assault rifle ( original 1:7 cold forged) for conscript army. Easy to use with gloves , safety and trigger manipulation, quick remove barrel, you can regulate gas. Nowdays versions have m block or pictiny rail. And being piston , i rather have this than HK 416 or M4 in a long during batle or war if you have to carry a weapon.
I'm waiting for the M2 with the handguard to become available. Look into the Ratworx 20/20 sear, Arid trigger/safety combo, Corvus Defensio brass deflector if you want to shoot from unorthodox positions, Underworld Arms M-LOK handguard for C-clamping, and an upgraded mag release from either Corvus Defensio or Arid. Gearhead Works also offers aftermarket parts. The barrel change allows you to switch calibers and barrel lengths 14.5" - 20" or even 24". You could also switch from 5.56 to 300 BLK in about 10 seconds including themag change.
You have one of the most durable rifles and magazines in your hand. the plastic is durable as hell and is a proven combat weapon. its perfect for duty and safe queen service. if you want to spend $2000 on a safe queen ar thats an individual perogative, bu thtis gun was meant to be run hard as it was designed for battle and to serve as a rifle or lmg with a 5 second barrel swap. If you need to hang stuff off your rifle because guys on the internet tell you to, then get an ar. There is a ton of 3rd party groups building or starting to build for this gun to modernize it to be more ar like. it has spare parts available, its easy to service and maintain, and all the parts are long lasting and durable.
And if you have watched Garand Thumb you would know that this is the only combat rifle in the world, that is able to be fired one handed with a bit of accuracy. But let this Stoner Boys there fun, simply ignore them.
I was getting ready to drop that on one when I stumbled onto a flash sale at Bud’s Gun Shop. $1,400, bought it instantly, lol. That was almost 2 years ago and I’ve had zero regrets. Love it.
@@Chael_Brito definitely!!! I shot the original STG77 version, and it was so accurate it was frightening. Forget the thing about the trigger, the rifle is genius!!
After seeing Ukrainian soldiers firing their AKs sideways from trenches because of the way the magazine is designed to increase the head and upper body exposure, the bull pup design is clearly a superior weapon as it means a lower exposed profile for the shooter.
Look ... trust me ! This "ugly" plastic will last way longer than every aloy and absorbs better impacts and shocks. The Heart Parts on an AUG lasts up to double longer than any AR - Battlefield Vegas test it . The Trigger is not the best ok ! But you dont understand the Idea behind the AUG ! Is an Rifle for an 0815 Soldier . Nobody needs a hair needle Trigger in a War . It all builds for End of World . This thing has an standardized Optic when it comes out in an time where you Guys aims over a fu.... Carrierhandle😂. Also the ejectable Barrel on the fly ! The Trigger can also on the fly go from semi to full auto without any Selector. I am not a fanboy because i personaly run an Mk18 but look at 9 Holes Vid on UA-cam . This man understands and learn for what purpose this Thing is Made and for that - its on of the best Rifles . Anyway - best Greetings from 🇦🇹
They had a deal awhile back where you got a 300blk and 5.56 barrel with some kind of optic for under $1500. Cool looking gun but much better options for the cost.
For the Meprolight M21: You can buy either an adjustable polarizer or a little light that shines on the fiber optics to make the reticle easier to see when looking from a dim area to a brighter area.
@msquared9605 yeah basically that. I guess it mechanically is like that but functions more like holding glow in the dark toys near a bright light so they glow better. The more light the fiber optic absorbs the brighter it is. I got the polarizer so I wouldn't have to deal with batteries and I love it.
The biggest problem with the AUG is the price. Everything else is either very good or upgradeable. The waffle mags are legendarily tough, despite how they might feel. Reliability is outstanding, and it can probably be used in more situations than a conventional rifle (you can operate it with mittens ffs). It can be broken down into its 3 main components and carried in a backpack - disassembly and reassembly takes mere seconds. It is sort of a hamburger in a room full of AR15 McNugget kids though. Some of us just like the burger, man.
Mil trigger is 2 stages, second stage can be burst or FA. The lever to select burst or FA is on the bottom of the trigger pack. You have to remove the but pad and trigger pack to change that.
Probably one of the best rifles except AR-15's. Also, the reason it costs as much, its because its Austrian and you are from US. Here in Europe, it costs the same as BCM and witg the reliability and longevity of the rifle, it's a fair price. Btw, dont take your rifle out of your shoulder while reloading. You have a short, well balanced rifle, so dont apply the AR training scars to it. In a stock configuration, it does suffer from the past, but with just a bit of past, you not only get a longer rail, but better controls, trigger etc. My AR definitely shoots softer than AUG, but I much prefer running and maneuvering with the AUG. Crazy how balanced and ergonomic this gun is
I love AUG . I've owned an a2 wintbox for a couple of years. Everything in it is good, I even bought tuning. But there is one thing, the star company does not sell much and distributes spare parts, it is almost impossible to buy them even for normal money. The firm erased, get together, you're so spoiling your credibility
Stick with your AR if you can’t appreciate the beautiful engineering of the AUG. First time I watched this channel, not coming back. Too much speculation and very little research. Just another guy in a ball cap and tight t-shirt having opinions.
For civilians, all AR-15 carbines are useless, even with a 12.5-inch barrel, such a carbine is too long a spear. Only bullpup rifles (AUG) or folding stock (AKMS, Zastava AB2...) Why do I say so? It's simple, with such a spear you will be killed by your or an enemy drone operator during an armed conflict before you reach the forest wall. You can easily put a bullpup weapon or possibly a folding stock into an average backpack, giving yourself a chance if you are detected by drones. If you move around with a gun in your hand, every drone operator will treat you as a threat regardless of your intentions.
How many push button immediately changeable barrel rifles that return to zero under 1 moa difference are you aware of? And of all those, how many of them cost $1000 or less. I thought so. Austrian precision is wasted on a mechanic whose only tools are a hammer and a crescent wrench…
The fact that you come out of the gate talking about video games as a reference is pretty laughable. Go attend the Steyr Academy, run the hell out of that thing then come back and talk to me.
Bullpup prone and standard prone are two different things. AUG is better than most in that regard. The folding vert grip and a three-finger pinch underneath makes a steady monopod
That's an incredibly ignorant comment by someone who obviously has no experience and is unaware that it's actually the third most common military rifle in the world.
Don’t listen to this the AUG is awesome. It is probably the best bullpup ever made if you are willing to make like 2 aftermarket upgrades. I’m dead serious he just doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.
@@gansior4744 yes the only thing that makes AR superior is absolute modularity and easy to make hyper accurate and light triggers. But as a carry all day general purpose rifle that’s compact dead reliable and just genuinely all around useful the AUG is absolutely fantastic. To be honest I can see why Some army’s choose to field it over the AR as a general issue rifle. Long story short I am not mad at all if I had to fight and defend my family or my country with the AUG. In fact I’d be plenty happy with it.
Who is this guy? Aug is fucking awesome.

Practice makes perfect.
It is a great gun! You don't know what you are talking about.
Right! The AUG is incredible and was DECADES ahead of its time.
aug is good of example of "no, rifle is fine"
@@2stroke438 it is pretty sweet as is.
Amen. Combat proven and still relevant 50 years later.
Over 32 countries have adopted it after testing for their primary battle weapon. To top it off it replaced the FAL ! Not easy to do as it was phenomenal as well !!!!!
One of the few bullpups that actually has spare parts available by the way.
Yes, IWI doesn’t even trust its customers enough to sell them spare firing pins for the Tavor
The level of ignorance in this video is shocking. BTW The trigger actually is adjustable. Take the stock off look above the trigger see that hex nut that's your trigger adjustment. That's actually the most excusable part of the ignorance.
Yeah ar guys generally are ignorant or hate anything that's not a boring light rifle with the world's stupidest charging handle
but he thinks he's funny
Yeah all he does is whine and cry about it. If after this he sucks off the Tavor in that review then he’ll forever be discredited to me.
The AUG is the third most common military rifle in the world used by a couple dozen countries in numerous smaller special units.
tunisian army and all agencies service rifle

Great points.
Also because the US has a lot of M4 aftermarket parts, it makes the the M4 more easy to customise, not so much with the AUG

aug review by a run of the mil ar owner. no idea what you're talking about
Its a great service rifle, i like mine better than ar's , trigger snobs can sneed n cope
I was always thought it's bad, but then when I actually grab one, it was suprisingly good. Lighter and better wall than milspec ar trigger

"Tavor better version" 😂😂😂😂 this guy is an amateur.
QUICK CHANGE barrel for cleaning… Brilliant… Desert tech has to use bore snake.
And if you have watched Garand Thumb you would know that this is the only combat rifle in the world, that is able to be fired one handed with a bit of accuracy. But let this Stoner Boys there fun, simply ignore them.
For cleaning is convenient, but the real benefit is that you can change barrels quickly and make this eg. an LMG in just few moves.
I got mine for 1600. Worth every penny.
Nice, I have my eyes on one listed on gunprime for 1,695 and it comes with the 20 inch barrel. Is this a good deal?
@@Chael_Brito it is

this guy is an amateur period. For real review go watch 9-hole reviews. 9-hole review.
Because it's dank AF and Karl.
People have reached the pinncle interests of owning an AR15 and want something new.
Kicks like a 7.62?? Well mine doesnt...its a very soft shooter...
I love my Aug
They had a deal awhile back where you got a 300blk and 5.56 barrel with some kind of optic for under $1500. Cool looking gun but much better options for the cost.
The Steyr AUG is a freaking amazing gun!!!!
I have one in semiauto, bud very used. Price is 16000 Czech crowns (750 USD).
The butt bullet proof I trained with a1 great rifle uses friendly it is a combat rifel
For the Meprolight M21: You can buy either an adjustable polarizer or a little light that shines on the fiber optics to make the reticle easier to see when looking from a dim area to a brighter area.

It is the First,one and Only Bullpup!
Bro put the gas regulator on regular not adverse! 😂
Call of Duty? Famous movies? Nostalgia? Seriously??
why you bought it ???
Stock Tavor trigger sucks too!
How many nostalgia came with the gun?

VFGs are fudd-ish? Yikes. Lots of GWOT vets that can shoot circles around all of us in combat are apparently fudds compared to 1 way range LARPers.

Love the looks - cool AF, but prone shooting is problematic and the triggers are known to be terrible.
Bullpup prone and standard prone are two different things. AUG is better than most in that regard. The folding vert grip and a three-finger pinch underneath makes a steady monopod
Depending where you live, Corvius Defensio rail costs like 150$ and you get a Mlok for lights, Grips and C clamp
Hey I live in Washington state and I’m trying to order a frame, a threaded barrel and a comp. What’s your take because I’m about to order this thing😅
