WATCH: Steyr AUG, King of the Bullpup Rifles
How much is that bullpuppy in the window? I don’t care; I want it.
Hold up–do you know what month it is? No, it’s not August; it’s #AUGust! In celebration, we made a little video about the best bullpup out there, the Steyr AUG. Selected by the Austrian army in 1977, the AUG A3 M1 is a civilian-legal variant that boasts all of the features demanded by Austrian defense forces. (Except full-auto fire capability, naturally.) For the last 42 years, the AUG has reigned supreme as the King of the Bullpups.
Best part? For the next few days, you can win one! Right now, Steyr’s Elite Experience Giveaway is still ongoing…and will be through August 31, 2019. Three lucky winners will receive either a Scout, a THB (Tactical Heavy Barrel), or an AUG–and an expenses-paid class at the Steyr Academy to help you get the most out of your new gun.

I have one and really like it. It garners looks from the AR crowd. Jealousy, I’m sure.
Oh, and that would be “dual” rather than “duel” gas.
I got one 7-8 years ago. Love it. Wish I’d had one in 1966.
I’d love to shoot one, let alone own one. Way outside this retiree’s budget. If I’m remembering correctly, the big blonde terrorist in Die Hard, used an Aug whe he was attempting to hunt ol’ Bruce down. I still think it’s the coolest gun Steyr ever put out. 40+ years later, it still the sexiest Bullpup on the market. It screams Tactical and CQB.
Yes, that was Karl (played by Alexander Godunov… Internationally known Russian ballet dancer and actor, who caused a diplomatic incident between the US and USSR when he defected to the US in 1979) . In Die Hard, he played Hans Gruber’s right hand man.
The AUG was also the weapon of choice for “The Governor” in The Walking Dead TV series.
