At
the SMES 2011, international defence and security exhibition of Middle
East, the Company Steyr presents the STEYR AUG/A3, the civilian version
of the world-famous assault rifle STEYR AUG, who is now used by special
units of the Internal Security forces of Lebanon. |

The
AUG/A3 SA USA’s basic design remains true to the original AUG bullpup
5.56mm assault rifle, Steyr configured it for better suitability to the
modern shooter. The AUG/A3 SA USA is made in America, as its name suggests, using a variety of domestic and Austrian parts, with production supervised by engineers from Steyr. Its basic design is familiar in its unfamiliarity, with its bullpup configuration, translucent magazine, distinctive pistol grip and quick-change barrel. Some modifications to make it more appealing to modern shooters are included, like a rail section atop the receiver for mounting optics superior to the original AUG’s integral, miniscule, fixed-power scope. There’s also a small section of rail opposite the charging handle for attaching an accessory like a flashlight or laser-aiming device. |
