Steyr AUG LMG [HBAR] to 700yds: Practical Accuracy (Austrian Army Stg77 A1 Mod / A3SF)

Watch latest videos, sometimes even early releases! Sign up for the newsletter 🗞️ tinyurl.com/9H... or tinyurl.com/Sl...
One of the primary strengths of the AUG is its quick-change barrel... a feature pioneered in the 1970's by ‪@steyr_arms‬ and yet... rarely explored by countries that use the AUG.
One particular variant of the AUG HBAR LMG was the AUG HBAR-T. The question was whether the LMG's long 24in barrel could be used in substitute of a DMR, much like what we call an SPR in the early 2000's. We find out!

My friend Rowan (Australian) rightly pointed out that the very original AUG LMG was an open bolt conversion. You can of course still stick the LMG barrel into a closed bolt AUG and have it operate, which I would contend would be a more flexible system as a magazine fed LSW/LMG system doesn't tend to overheat like a belt fed variety as much, but you'd have better precision without the bolt slamming home every shot.

[@7071t6]

hi guys can you try to shoot laser pointed with say a good 308 like say what most of the us army was using back in the 2010 era and have the spotter call where the laser is pointer, just to see where the impacts are, based on the diel in of the rifle and the laser pointer and point of impact, it would be interesting to see just how accurate the point of impact is with the laser pointer?

[@spydercomonkey]

The closed bolt HBAR would make an ideal resistance / insurgent weapon for resisting occupation - ideal for Neutral Austria, or perhaps Cyprus and Taiwan. Allows LMG work for ambushes, some DMRish ability, and due to bullpup layout still short enough to also be used as regular assault rifle - all with a single weapon. Very curious how the FA accuracy would be in 6-9rd bursts vs say a M249 etc LMG. (Also, thanks for this and many other wonderful videos)

[@thejohnbeck]

Reticle is a GREAT addition

[@hoilst265]

@@spydercomonkey It's why we issue them to NORFORCE and 51 FNQ and the Pilbara Regiment.

[@UMADBRO64]

The AUG LMG bolt carrier group is interchangeable with the standard closed bolt, bolt carrier group. For the purposes and firing schedule of a extra light machine gun a la notaRPK you're probably fine, but without the open bolt conversion, it'd struggle to hit the 70% "just as good" mark without issuing an additional barrel. You might also end up with issues with the plastic body, that no barrel swap can solve, that might necessitate the open bolt.

[@ChetJang]

I like mine. The second-generation AUGs have a better trigger than the originals. My 24-inch barrel is not only longer but much heavier. The barrel bipod would have to be removed to find out true accuracy. Resting a barrel like that ruins accuracy. Just leaving the bipod in place would mess up barrel harmonics. Its original purpose was a squad auto, but that long, heavy barrel should be accurate if given a chance. I have leukemia and have not fired anything in 4 years. I need to look at mine. The bipod should be removable. I would be curious about accuracy with good ammo. I just looked at mine. The muzzle break needs to be removed to slip the bipod off. A solid ring holds the bipod, but only the muzzle break keeps it in place. Mine is an original 24-inch heavy barrel, which cost me 900$ 20 years ago. It looks slightly heavier.

[@Mangowaffle]

Point of aim indicator was much appreciated, and Josh calling the velocity drop in that one round was pretty impressive! His spotter skills have vastly improved from " a bit left and up some" 😆

[@Nylonscheme]

We should see due to the length of the barrel 24inches and a 1-9 twist rate, the bullets rotational trajectory is “spinning” approx 2.6000 times prior to its exit. a singular full turn is a long time barrel makers standard, it must make a full rotation in the rifling for balancing the projectile. such as an mk18 1/7 barrel the bullet spins about 1.4 times prior to exiting which should properly stabilize the projectile. So in theory you might not see the same problems with 77gr as you find with an mk18 w/ a 1/9 twist rate, army used to even field m16 20in w/ a 1/12 twist. They should make an AUG with a 1/7 twist that twist is ideal for 75/77gr. BUT lots of people ONLY shoot 55/62. Faster twist rates are a good thing such as the 1/3 8.6blkout, so the barrel can be as short as possible. but the AUG 1/9 24in should be okay with 55-77gr.

[@carbiner76]

I've seen multiple tests show the standard 16" 1/9 twist AUG barrel not only has no problem stabilizing 77gr but tends to love it and be very accurate. TBH it's a bit of a myth that full length 1/9 can't stabilize and keep stabilized 77gr ammo at distance. Of course it varies from barrel to barrel but certainly a lot of them can.

[@debi5292]

so called "overstabilization" of lighter bullets in fast twist barrels is overstated. Years of experience with a 1 in 7 twist tells me so. Accuracy is still very good.

[@woptsufp]

Given that 1 in 9 is actually quite a fast twist (for typical civilian rifles that aren't 5.56), and how fast those pills are going, I would bet that thing would stabilize 77 grain bullets.

[@Ivan-vn1pd]

literally one of the best things about the channel

[@bruceinoz8002]

Twist rate? 1:7" or slower? How does it perform with "NATO" ball or equivalent? Here, down under, we had first-hand acquaintance with the mythical overstabilization., from standard 20" 1:7 twist barrels and F1 / SS109 / M855 62 grain ball. Out to 400m, everything was sweetness and light. Somewhere in the next 100, the bullets were apparently having "issues". Really weird BIG bullet dispersion and even slight "key=holing".. Interestingly, troops issued with the "Carbine" (16") were not having the same problem. Same ammo, same twist rate. My research turned up all manner of articles on bullet stability. For a given twist rate, longer barrels produce faster spin rates sue to higher velocity. A Mr. Greenhill did a lot of experiments and number-crunching back in the early 1880s. He was the first to understand the true nature od bullet spin and to delve into the new--fangled "longer" bullets coming into vogue at the time. Of, course, he was tinkering with LEAD bullets,driven by black powder. at relatively sedate velocities. Overstabilization? Can't happen? Not quite. Bullets are spun to turn them into little gyroscopes. This is designed to keep the bullet axis more-or-less on a straight line. As this is the "real" world, a couple of extra variables / factors come into play: GRAVITY and "drag" There is also the basic fact that there are NO "perfect" bullets, (especially "compound-core" ones) and NO "perfect" barrels.The bullet leaves the bore more-or-less aligned with the last couple of inches of the barrel. So far, so good At launch, it is spinning at many thousands of RPM However, once clear of the muzzle two things start happening, simultaneously. The atmosphere starts to slow the bullet's forward travel; the thrust from the propellant gases having ceased to act on the base of the bullet). (The interaction between the propellant gases and the bullet as the bullet base clears the crown is a whole different "rabbit-hole). Gravity starts to pull th ebullet towards the centre of mass of the planet, "straight down. Thus, the "flight-path goes from a "straight line", of sorts, to a parabola (of sorts). The bullet is accelerating towards the ground at an acceleration of 9.8 metres / second / per second / 32 feet per second / per second. In the early parts of the "flight, the significance of both forces acting on the bullet are "relatively insignificant".. 3000 fps is 1000 yards per second. As anyone paying attention whilst firing decent 5.56 ball on a 1000 yd range may have noticed, it take somewhat longer than 1 second for a bullet to travel 1000 yards (9 hundred and something metres). That is the "drag" component.If the bore and the sights are dead parallel, the bullet will NOT even make it to 1000 yards. This is gravity having its wicked way. HOWEVER the "lateral" drag on the SPIN of the bullet is negligible. Thus, the bullet remains "stabilized". It will, therefore, try to remain on the line of departure, even though it is "falling" and thus actually "flying" on a mostly parabolic trajectory.. This means that the bullet is subjected to changes in lateral forces as its path deviates, the air will act on the bullet to try to shove it back to aerodynamic stability.. In an "understabilized" bullet,this will result in wild deviations pretty much from the muzzle. Within the band of "correct" stabilization, the competing forces will cause tiny deflection corrections to occur quite frequently in flight, thus "generally" maintaining the trajectory mostly at a tangent to the parabolic trajectory. An "overstabilized" bullet will try to stay on the line of departure. Somewhere down-range,the aerodynamics will kick in and force a correction, usually NOT quite back on the original trajectory.. Hence the weird dispersions and odd-shaped bullet holes in targets at one or more ranges.

AUG HBAR AKA 556 RAILGUN XDDD

[@Doreato]

I will never forget this gun because it was my favorite to use in MW2. The other CODs had the AUG but it was never the HBAR and it never felt as powerful. Glad to see such a memorable gun for me on this channel. The reticle view was awesome too! Great work.

[@luked2767]

A huge reason why alot of European manufacturers went with bullpups is the fact they wanted a 20 inch barrel but most want to go back or have gone back to a standard configuration but recent technologys do exist that would make the loading such as on the P90 then better triggers such as on thebone used on dare I say it kel-teck alot better but I think they could do alot better with something like a hydraulic linkage over a coat hanger. So many CHF barrel machines are made by Steyr. Outside of the US most weapon barrels are CHF, maybe for the US civilian market alot of people don't care about CHF Vs button cut and they think nitride is a substitute of Chrome lining. Apart from a little more corrosion resistance I have never seen much benefit to nitriding and some company's really do a poor job. Can button rifled barrels be more accurate than CHF yes but they are very expensive, when high end hunting/target rifles have CHF barrels and the fact you can have much more accurate chrome lined barrels when using CHF, I have no idea why the US military still uses button cut when FN makes CHF ones for just a little more is odd. I don't think the M7 will replace the M4/M16 in the US millitary and I doubt that NATO will adopt the 6.8x51 as it's an expensive system that's only good if you come across enemy combatentents wearing expensive body armour. With the M4 being the standard issue rifle in 5.56 the ballistics out of a 14.5 is not great. I have no idea why the US did not modernise the M16 to be select fire with a free-float rail system as a telescoping stock. Many nations do still use twist rates slower than 1/7 and for civilian shooters 1/8-9 makes much more sence. In the US when it comes to imported rifles and barrels many assume that if it's marked .223 it's junk but most of the world uses CIP and .223 and 5.56 are the same chambering. FN has a sale on 18' CHF CL 1/8 barrels for 150 most don't want them as they are marked .223 but it's .223 CIP and have the usual FN inspection marks, they seem to be more accurate VS the standard FN CHF CL 5.56 ARs are quite boring but you can get quality parts for a low cost, with an AR build a good Barrel and BCG is what is really the heart of the rifle. I have always gone with FN barrels and then a standard phosphate milspec BCG, the only other type I would reccomend thats any better is a fully chromed one apart from the extractor.

[@ArthurRobinson-v3y]

I think it would be so sweet to have a version of this rifle chambered in 6.5x55 Swedish, especially as an LMG. I've always thought that the military should have chambered the M-16 in 6.5x55 Swedish. I know from being in the Marine Corp in the early 80's and qualifying on the M-16 and the M-16 A2 that any substantial cross wind will blow that little 55gr bullet all over the place. You can easily make hits at 500yds with it, as long as there is little to no wind. But if there's wind 10 mph+, it's only reliable to 300yds. The 6.5x55 Swedish, with its vastly better BCE and low recoil, would significantly increase the effective range of both rifles and LMG's. It would be nice to have a bullpup version of an M-16, but it's not really needed because we have the Styre AUG!

[@emskirchnerOger]

The Aug is a great rifle. The only issue is the trigger. Its somehow ok but not really good compared with other rifles out there.

Re: MG74 & MG42 - left overs from the war did remain in Austrian service as the MG42/59 (chambered for 7.62 NATO) until it was replaced with MG74.

So the MG3 is more like a cousin rather than a brother or father to the 74.

Interesting! I've been fascinated by the AUG 16-in/20-in and AUG HBAR 24-in combo for a long time. Specifically, in a modernized USMC WWII Rifle Squad, replacing the M1 Rifle and M1918 BAR. That was 13 men: 1 Squad Leader and 3 Fire Teams of 4: 3 riflemen and 1 automatic rifleman. The AUG/AUG HBAR combo to me makes sense for easy of maneuverability in a squad working in helicopters and armored vehicles. Plus this combo would provide a lot of fire power. And you get some 'DMR type' support on top of it (if a closed bolt version is used)!

[@sergecashman4822]

To me the most surprising bit was to hear that the RPK performed like shit. It's the same concept, just more low tech. As far as AUG goes it's an awesome platform. The only thing I don't get is why they keep that handguard. This was the first thing to go on the Tavor, RIP. If you relocate the bipod to the receiver and issue it with two barrels it makes a sensible SAW. Lighter and more accurate than open bolt machine guns. I wonder if it holds zero when you swap barrels.

[@onpsxmember]

I do like the idea of the HBAR-T, but not the weight. Is there still balance with the 26'' barrel + bipod and the 3x on it? With the big glass, it'll be probably nose divey. 20'' + 4x magnifier and rds is fine at about 4.3 kg. + ammo.

[@kcv5716]

Is that field jacket with an austrian pattern? Reminds me a lot of the FDF M05 frost pattern

[@9HoleReviews]

It's a Luxembourg Armed Forces top, they ripped off the FDF pattern

[@syrakul9493]

@@9HoleReviews Thanks for the clarification

[@nirfz]

Little addition: Luxembourgs army also uses the AUG. Austrian pattern "old" would be single colour olive (or stone grey as the litteral translation would be of what the austrian army called the colour) and the current one is like "digital vomit" in my eyes. But that's just me. (i liked the old colour, and how underestimated it was while working great in concealing someone in the woods and even in the open in austria)

[@stevemc6010]

42 round magazines seem odd from the logistical angle - does the Austrian Heer package rounds that evens out with that capacity?

[@MobiuSphere]

That weird two reticle optic they're now offering for 300 blackout, the manufacturer eludes me at the moment, could be an interesting choice for hot swapping the barrels

[@philippd9265]

Somebody needs to develop a digital trigger for the civilian AUG. There is space for the battery and actuator in the stock. Instead of the trigger rod a cable and the trigger a pushbutton. It should be quite easy to develop.

I like the design of the bullpup rifle, but I'm left-handed and find it difficult to use.😢 Hello from Japan!

[@wadesafool]

Would love to see you run this course with a scoped 10/22 just for fun and to talk ballistics comparatively

Now that REACH is fully implemented in Europe as of yesterday. Everyone was concerned about chrome barrels. Whatever those new production is gone yesterday. If they had fully machined barrels they can still assemble until the stock of fully machined stock is gone but they can’t make anymore. What no one has realised is that lead is a banned substance. You can’t import steel ammo. Gunpowder was made REACH compliant many years ago.

that 3400 FPS will zip through level 3+ plates like hot knife through butter.

[@rayfeltz8477]

Bubbad sks never got it’s day. Literally out shoot everything else. I know what I got sonny.

[@cordellej]

you guys need to try and get your hands on a british army LSW l86a2 , carried one for 5 years and loved it to death. surpressive fore out to 700 easy and used to drop one shot hits at 500m ,

[@Sicnarfsirk]

Would the spotter using a whiteboard be considered cheating? if his just off the left the 'gun-verb' wont need to move his head just his eyes

[@sorryociffer]

I had one of these several years ago. One of the few setups I regret selling. It was fucking bad ass.

[@JoeyInkwell]

I'm going to have to increase my budget for personal lubricants.

[@flip849]

Diddy might have some for you

[@mtnbound2764]

henry could zero the RDS for the 14.5" and then the scope for the HBAR

[@davematthews3534]

Don't know y the MOD went with the sa80 when bullpups of this calibre r out there!!

[@LoreTunderin]

Now I want to know what the final form of that AUG would shoot like with the bipod relocated, a better optic, and some match grade ammunition.

[@Natedawgontheright]

They need to cut the carry handle and give us a flat top with a rail. AUG could be so modular if they leaned into it. I just like how streamlined it is compared to some modern bulpups

[@Robert-cd5zr]

How does it cope with heat and the polymer? Designed such that it isn't an issue, or will it have the same issues as the older G36?

[@Jpex369]

Please could you do a SMLE MK5 Jungle Carbine?

[@Matt123a]

Just thinking of the 1.5x donut of death (with no inner cross or dots) makes me want to break something.

[@BearClawAK47]

I'd like to see how a vepr 5.56 RPK compares to the AUG.

[@MARedleg]

I would like to see how it performs with the heavier 77 grain bullets. I’ve never been a fan of bull pup rifles but this rifle looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. I have to admit it looks cool.

[@killerratchet1973]

If the twist rate isn't 1:7 then there's no point, unsure if Steyr makes the HBAR barrel in 1:7.

[@papimartin2855]

Hi , you referred to Peruvians using the AUG, in reality those are Ecuadorian soldiers, Peru never adopted the AUG.
