Steyr AUG (Armee Universal Gewehr) is an Austrian self-loading rifle that was first introduced in 1977. It is known for its unique appearance and technical innovations, which make it an iconic firearm.

The AUG features a bullpup configuration, meaning that the trigger mechanism and magazine are located behind the pistol grip, allowing for a longer barrel while maintaining a compact overall length. The rifle is constructed using high-quality materials such as polymer and lightweight alloy frame, making it both lightweight and durable.

One of the most distinctive features of the Steyr AUG is its modular design. The barrel is easily interchangeable and is available in various lengths, allowing for customization to different tasks and environments. Additionally, there are options for different types of sights, including optics, red dot sights, or night vision. The AUG operates on a gas piston system with ammunition feeding from a side-mounted magazine. It offers the rate of fire and reliability that are characteristic of modern self-loading rifles. The standard caliber for the AUG is 5.56x45mm NATO, but there are also versions available for other calibers, such as 9mm or 7.62x39mm.

Steyr AUG has gained popularity among armed forces worldwide and has been used in numerous conflicts. It is praised for its ergonomics, reliability, and accuracy. The rifle also incorporates safety features, including a safety selector and a semi-automatic firing mode, ensuring safe handling. Steyr AUG has become an icon of modern rifles and continues to maintain its popularity among shooters and collectors. Its futuristic design and innovative features have solidified its reputation as one of the most respected firearms in the world.
