The AUG / AUSTRIAN SERVICE RIFLE, the best bullpup ever made?

[@pajem0999]

Here's an interesting design feature of the AUG that is never mentioned. The operation of the rifle can be done wearing mittens (i.e. no trigger finger exposed). That includes removing the barrel, cocking the charging lever, changing mags, and even adjusting the gas settings. Ever wondered why the trigger guard was so huge, why they chose a push safety catch, and (in the military version) a two stage trigger between semi and full auto? Now you know why. Makes sense when you consider that Steyr designed the AUG to be able to be used by Austrian alpine/mountain troops wearing bulky winter clothing.

[@nicolasreynoso2965]

Thank you for adding that! It makes a lot more sense now

[@floridasoldat]

@@logik1677 I can’t make any sense of what you just said

[@logik1677]

@@floridasoldat haha okay well, when you’re not in a panic state; everything in your body works fine. When you ARE in a panic state, things work worse. Like minor motor skills eg using fingers to reload or grip to change gas settings or pick up rounds or alter scopes etc. so, you want to use your fists or palm, like a gorilla. This is due to fight or flight and blood loss moving from things not important to things that are. So the mechanics of the weapon work beat in combat because most things can be done with your palm and fists instead of intricacies of a more delicate weapon requiring minor motor skills

Being a former austrian instructor on this platform i have to say this might be the best STG77 review available . Though you are missing a few vital points about this system . Lets take the magazines , the original steyr magazines are almost indestructible under normal use . You can step on an empty mag with full battle load on you and it wont break . We drove cars over loaded magazines and they never had an issue afterwards . You also have to take the austrian doctrin of the seventies into mind when talking about the design features. This platform was designed to be used by 18 year old conscripts and passed down to another one for hundred or even thousands of times . During my time i had a rifle made in 79 meaning it had already 20 years of service in the forces and i barely had any hick ups ever . A very good and mostly overlooked and therefore usualy very criticised point are the mag changes. There is no reason to bring your weapons into the workspace as it is called on youtube because all you need is already where it should be as you kinda pointed out. The pull down handle never had been any issue i had heard of , you use the handle to pull the weapon backwards and not downwards . Unfortunately something you didnt expirience yet is how controlable the weapon is in full auto and snappy reciol is no issue because if you hold the rifle correctly you are straight back at your target . 0 issue really .... If you are an 18 year old austrian conscript there almost 0 chance you ever fired a different assault rifle so you have nothing to compare to . Yes it needs some modernisations and the aussies did an awesome job with the F90 athrax . The case deflector is surely a good thing but pure luxury , back in the 70s switching shoulder wasnt really in use anywhere on the planet as far as iam aware and this was not thought of but this also never had been a big issue because even if the cases hit you during extraction you barely feel it . Its not like you get punched in the face ... man up a little lol What i would probably see as a trade off compared to an AR, AK or Famas all i have used in actual combat including the stg77 is that the STG is alot more training intensive then the other platforms . The biggest trade off in my opinion is the price tag but you also get what you pay for . But i really like that unbiased review wich just made me subscribe . Keep em coming

[@Oberkommando]

Do you perhaps know if the trigger so terrible only on the civilian semi auto version? I hear a lot of criticism from american gun channels on the trigger. I've only shot the progressive Trigger during my time in the Austrian army and now reserve, and it wasn't so bad in my opinion. I never expected a Geissele, I think the word "meh" would sum my opinion of the trigger up pretty well. So is only the civilian trigger so terrible, or was I using a horrible trigger in my service gun too without even noticing too much? To be fair there is not a lot I can personally compare the trigger to since the only long arms I have experience behind are the AUG, my AR, my Kar98k and my main service gun an Austrian MG42 clone (MG74) - I know I know, only 4 long guns - those are rookie numbers for you americans :)

[@aaronorr5586]

@@Oberkommando Better to have rookie numbers that you do shoot than a hodge-podge and no ammunition ;)

[@DrWolfensteinz]

@@Oberkommando The civilian AUG has a particularly rough trigger due to the trigger sear that is that same as the progressive triggers, and isn't optimized for a semi-auto gun resulting in a lot of travel. That's why the 20/20 TSM is such a fantastic choice, and for what it is, the metal on plastic movement is smoother than plastic on plastic on the normal trigger pack.

As former conscript in the Austrian army and now police office using the AUG A3, I have to note, that we drill the unlock and fire procedure a bit different - and in my opinion a bit smoother - than shown in the video. When we are in "finger long position" (weapon locked, extended index finger on the right side of the housing body, directly over the safety button), to unlock and fire the AUG swiftly we are sliding the extended index finger down over the safety button (most likely near the knuckles of your index finger), push the safety into fire-position on the way down, until we arrive with the index finger at the trigger to fire the weapon. So we are not forced to move the rest of our hand at all. The index finger is doing all the work in one smooth movement, while the shooter is able to aim at the target all the time without the weapon moving. And yeah, the trigger is - mildly said - something to get used to. Greeting from Austria. Sorry for the crappy English.

The KAC rail is the source of the weight. This is worth it because it allows use of the PEQ-15/16s, and thus, night fighting. Not all weight is worth it but that is. Nowadays, use Block 2 M4s, maybe with R3s if you want a near greatest service rifle.

As an Aussie, I can tell you that the reason that it ‘won’ in trials against the M16 is that colt wouldn’t allow production outside of the USA, but steyr was fine with domestic production in Australia under license.

[@theodoreheintz7891]

Regarding the foregrip folding when you dont want it to... the 9mm & 14 barrel have non folding grips because the grip when folded would go past the muzzle. So Steyr does make grips that do not fold and you can just get one of those and swap it out. That is what I did and it solves the issue nicely.

As an Austrian, having served with that rifle (not in combat though), I really enjoyed that video! Edit: and I can confirm the hassle with the trigger. When I shot it, I accidentally shot a doublet, because it's quite easy to pull too hard (no pun intended) and then you directly switch over to auto fire or a burst. If you're in training and inexperienced that's quite scary, but if you are really skilled you can easily shoot single shots, doublets and autofire without having to touch anything except the trigger.

👍 Finally a youtuber that is able to reload in the shoulder and takes moving around with it into consideration for the verdict! Have seen a number of reviews, and my countrymen regularly write in the comments that we learn to reload in the shoulder. About the "HK-Slap" at 19:40. Don't know who told you so, but >20 years ago, we learned that this is the normal way to release the locked back chargin handle. -> Use one finger to snap it out of the lockback position. They taught that to everyone in basic training, as this makes sure nobody "slowly" rides the bolt forward and thus doesn't close it fully. Would not be the biggest problem if people could master the little knob on the back of the original charginghandle...but only few do. (and that is way slower) Remember, for most recruits in austria this is the first firearm in their life to have in their hands. (was the same for me) This also is the reason you won't hear many complaints about the trigger by them. If this is the only trigger you know, then this for you is how a trigger feels, and you get used to it. -> someone who has never eaten steak doesn't miss it. Although i have to say, we got trained on our MGs and the Glock too, and still didn't think the AUG trigger was as atrocious as the internet thinks it is.😁 (Maybe the semi auto version is worse?)

[@Slavolko]

It's possible they simply don't care as much about the trigger feel as much as hobbyists. They go through training with it and accept it for what it is, rather than worrying about the smaller details they might not have control over.

[@benash2954]

Of the two ways to chamber a round (HK Slap or to actually pull the cocking handle back and releasing it) we were trained to pull the cocking handle but in practice everyone used the slap. When the bolt locks back after the last round the early models didn't have a bolt release button and you can't slap it (since it's not the cocking handle holding the bolt open) so the only option was to pull the cocking handle to chamber a round from the new mag.

[@bvoyelr]

UGH, I had so many problems with the thing jamming after a lockback when I first got this rifle! I didn't even pick up on the fact that I was riding the charging handle forward. Just trying to unlock it without slicing my finger on the picatinny rail probably kept too much of my attention. Guess I need load her up with some snap caps and do some more administration drills.

Mike, excellent advice at the end - There's not enough of that mindset going around. Awesome. Love it or hate it, as an Australian who's had some experience with the F88, your comment about training is spot on. The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war. The trigger takes a bit of getting used to, but once you overcome the shortcomings with a little training, you can shoot out as far as any AR rifle and do it just as accurately. Two small things you didn't cover off on - The Kiwis had a three-way safety catch, SAFE/SEMI/AUTO. These were clearly identified by being a solid black block instead of colour-matched to the stock. Secondly, the trigger on the AUG/F88 is two-stage pressure-actuated, a short depression is a single shot, while pulling all the way to the rear fires the weapon in cyclic. It also has a single-shot lockout stud that can be dropped down to prevent the rifle from going fully-automatic. Cheers for a great video. Love from Australia.

[@Rb889]

@@BourbonInhibitions It's a military issue bullpup with a progressive trigger. Yes, it is not as good as a crisp AR trigger. But that does not make it a bad design for its intended purpose, there are several redundancies that make it very good at what it does, and where it's meant to be used. Trigger shoe can be physically pushed forward if it fails to reset, it has two trigger bars, and the entire layout, including the controls, are designed for use while wearing heavy mittens. Hence the progressive trigger rather than a selector. Unfortunately, those benefits don't transfer over to the semi-only version, particularly those who don't live in an alpine or arctic climate, and thus don't have to worry about their rifle being frozen solid, nor having to use it in sub-zero temperatures while dressed like the michelin man.

The first time I held an AUG at a gun show, I fell in love with bullpups. The balance was perfect, and it just felt great to hold. I ended up getting a different bullpup (one with a substantially better trigger), but the AUG started my love affair with the design format. If you can find a bullpup with a decent trigger, I personally find bullpup tradeoffs to be a lot more manageable than conventional tradeoffs. For example, I can deal with bad split times, but I really don't want to deal with my gun getting caught on a doorframe during a home invasion. For military/police shooters, who have ready access to SBRs without much hassle, bullpups have some advantages, but they're less compelling. For a regular guy who likes to shoot for fun every now and then, wants their gun to double as a home defense gun, and doesn't want a legal headache, I think bullpups make a ton of sense.

As someone who works in austrian law enforcement, i work with both the AUG (in a special configuration) and the Glock (mainly G17). And I have to say, they are both just perfect for what they are made to be. Yes the trigger on the Glock may be considered "bad" but there's a good reason for it. It is kind of intentional, if you look at the genius Glock Safe Action System, which is designed, so there is no way a shot can be triggered, without intentionally pulling the trigger AND all that without having a safety switch! This makes it perfect for carrying, since it is always safe to carry but at the same time always ready to fire when you draw it. It's similar with the AUG. Yes things like the trigger might be "bad" for someone who gets a gun just to shoot for fun at the range (which by the way is not remotely as common in Austria as it might be in the US), BUT when you carry the thing in a military or law enforcement situation, those things are just not that important, compared to the positives it brings with it. By the way, I don't know about all the other versions, but the police configuration of the AUG (A3 currently) runs a two stage safety for semi/fully auto instead of the two stage Trigger which I personally used on my A1 in the Austrian Military. Sorry for the long comment, but as an active officer as well as instructor I'm kinda into this 😜

I have shot M1A’s, AK’s, AR’s, several bolt actions, a Galil or two and several other weapons in between. However, this weapon is easily in my top 3 favorite firearms ever shot. Smooth, easy to control and comfortable. Love it.

Used the AUG in the Irish Defence Forces. Excellent weapon in general, during my service the rifle was the standard configuration without rails, had the factory 1.5 optical sight with emergency battle sight built in to the optics frame on top of it in the form of a simple notch which was used if the organic sight was damaged. We also had an Irish modification below the trigger called an ALO or 'Automatic Lock Out', a steel button that when extended prevented the trigger being fully depressed into full auto fire. If full auto was desired the button was pushed into the trigger allowing full Automatic. The downside was switching back to semi-auto required a knife to pop the button back into extension.

Aussie F88 had this too. Pretty hilarious when recruits discover this for the first time and we were all told to pull that out, somebody didn't. Then after the accidental 8 round burst they put their hand on top of the barrel to push it down (freak out), gave some pretty good burns on the fingers!

It was at that time (as far as i know) the only standard rifle to be issued with an optic too. Only 1.5x, but by Swarovski. (And for conscripts who have never handled a gun before, explaining how to use these optics and getting them to use them correct is less time consuming and easier than with iron sights)

[@Schnurbs]

I just bought a AUG yesterday and I have to say, I’ve been a big fan of Bullpups, because they have a unique design, and I’m stoked to test it out soon.

[@DjCyberZonex]

I like the AUG, cuz, its was made back in the 1969, now the military ally is still using AUG, but that gun need a upgrate.

[@Schnurbs]

Update: 10/10 super smooth and extremely happy with the purchase! Just received my 5x scope yesterday for it too.

@@letsgobrandon7297 for a new that’s what I spent. Now the magazines were pretty expensive for them. I just stuck with the mags designed for the firearm. They were $47 a piece

[@DoubleThinkTwice]

Good review 👌 I did mandatory service in the Austrian army with an age-old v1 of the AUG, and I believe what it comes down to is that the AUG isn't a rifle that you give 20 spec ops guys who need to hit 95% of their shots. Instead, you give it to 50.000 normal soldiers, enabling them to hit 50% of their shots, and have the weapons not malfunction so you can actually keep the whole army supplied through a drawn-out conflict. This is much less about the individual marksman as it is about a whole army running these weapons. This also becomes clear when you see the default optic that comes with the rifle, which is just a circle crosshair thingie. The only rangefinding you get is "a guy with 1.80m height will fit into the circle when he's 300m away", which is also your engagement distance. The weapon is perfectly zeroed in to hit that target by the quartermaster, no adjustments needed by the individual soldier. And the actual reason why they didn't make it a normal crosshair and didn't put in any rangefinding info is just to make the soldier shoot quicker. See enemy, enemy in circle, squeeze trigger, bullet out. And if you're thinking as an entire unit, it doesn't really matter if the individual soldier hits or not, because one of them will. This thing enables a normal guy who's a baker or an accountant or whatever in his civilian life to reliably hit targets at 150-300m with minimal training. TL;DR: not a rifle for individual marksmen, definitely a rifle for an entire military
