NamantH Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 so nothing on those posters about takng a large type battery... has anyone seen this supposed large type battery? the gearbox is a standard v3 it looks like... Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think the early posters we've seen are just samples, the gun can't take a large battery. Maybe they can use a 12v (= large battery) but no large types. Link to post Share on other sites
jaeger0416 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Man, the A3 is friggin beautiful...I want one...too bad its niche is already overfull (long barrel outdoor guns) in my arsenal...ugh...G36E - SL9SD - AUGA3... Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 /me hates the look of the AUG A3 . I can't imagine that this gun will be a huge success. It's bulky and heavy. Also it seems as the realsteel gun wouldn't be as good as the existing A1 and A2 AUGs. Steyr will produce the A3 in Malaysia, not in Austria anymore (production of A1 and A2 AUGs will also be moved to Malaysia). What I've heard about the "Made in Malaysia" AUGs from some very experienced guys who had the A3 in their hands, isn't very promising. It seems as the quality is awful and there are a lot of problems with these guns. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I might get me an AUG, looks teh nice. OD of course. Link to post Share on other sites
NamantH Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 heres a question. if you look at the shaft for the foregrip... it is the same color as the grip. is that painted metal, or is the shaft made outta the same material that the grip an body are? Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hm good observation NamantH . At the Marui AUG, it's made of (crappy) metal. I hope it will be made of steel on the CA AUG, but it seems as it would be the same plastic as the grip is Well, the picture shows a prototype, so maybe it will be different on the production version. Or they painted it in OD, that's also possible, Link to post Share on other sites
NamantH Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The front grip is a "deal breaker" for me if it is made crappy I will forego buying the gun more than likely. I love having the grip on there... and if it breaks like the tm one did I will be very upset Link to post Share on other sites
SFOD-D Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I found some pictures from an ASG presentation here and the foregrip from one of the CA AUG prototypes is clearly visible. I attached a pic of the detail. Looks pretty metal to me. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Spunkification. I might just have to pick one of these up. Link to post Share on other sites
NamantH Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 ok... thank you kindly mister SFOD And i like that the prototype there is the a2 version... god i hope they come with both at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well, here's a thought. CA like to release loads of addons for their AEG lines, right? So, if they release the AUG, perhaps a HBAR kit? Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 And i like that the prototype there is the a2 version... god i hope they come with both at the same time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's no A2, it's a A1 special receiver. On the A1 you have to change the complete receiver if you want to change from the optical sight to a rail or back The A2 has a receiver with interchangeable optics/rails. You can change the optic without changing the receiver on the A2. That's something different than pictured above Link to post Share on other sites
NamantH Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 uni... no offence... but I really dont care It has the railed top, which is like the mauri civi version, which is all i care about. I hate the built in optics on the aug. Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well but some other people care That's an A2 (with 16 Inch barrel, cant' find a good pic of the standard 20 Inch barreld version ATM). Note that the rail is also lower than on the A1 SR. http://image2.sina.com.cn/jc/pc/2003-08-08...00308081640.jpe Also the charging handle and the flashhider are different on the A2. The currently produced Australian F88 rifles are also based on the A2 (as seen various times in Iraq e.g.). Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 sorely tempted by the mil version- I know the sights are going to be largely pointless, but I just think, other than that, they are perhaps the most comfortable and pointy rifles I've ever used. and a release time around April? just in time for me birthday! wife, take note Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 April? argh. Link to post Share on other sites
NamantH Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Uni, from that picture i couldnt tell the size of the rail. I know that the a1 sr that mauri has now is larger than the a2... Im getting anxious. Link to post Share on other sites
Wehrmacht54 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 April I thought the word was Feb? Either way is cool with me i wouldnt be able to get one till May. Just thought the dates were set on Feb according to the CA shop in HK. Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Uni, from that picture i couldnt tell the size of the rail. I know that the a1 sr that mauri has now is larger than the a2... Im getting anxious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> AUG A1 SR (Marui AEG with 20" barrel) http://www.wargamefever.com/wargame/images/TM-AUGC-AEG.JPG AUG A2 (real with 16" barrel) http://www.steyr-aug.com/aug_a2.jpg As you can see, the rail on the A2 is a lot lower than on the A1 SR. The difference in size of the gun (barrel) has nothing to do whether its an A1 or A2, the A2 is also available with the same barrel lenght than the A1 and the Marui replica.

NamantH Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 the other thing that I noticed (and like) is that its a standard RIS rail on top... not the one that is used on the SR. thats one thing that really upset me, that the cuts in the rail are not uniform and caused issues with using certain RIS mounted things on the SR rail. ah well thanks... nice to know the differences now Link to post Share on other sites
aXXXel Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hbar kit? Is that the kit you're dreaming about? *beep*, have you even seen these? Steyr AUG A3 (Teh Sexxx!) Link to post Share on other sites
FacialRoss Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 sorry to revive a dying thread especially over such irrelevance but I'm trying to decide whether I want one or not and there's just one thing putting me off the whole gun despite it's easy substitutability; does it annoy anyone else that the flash hider on the AUG looks like the dining table leg of Queen Anne III?

wildstallion Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Looks pretty funky to me, but its easily changed regardless Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 It would be good to also see released with the new AUG a new ELCAN sight .. with only 2x or 1.5x magnification. 3.5x and 4x is a bit much!.. AUG+ELCAN= mmmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites
