AUG in 300 Blackout

[MichaelH]

Ignoring the merits of the caliber, IMO, next to a HiPoint pistol, a Steyr AUG is probably the least aesthetically pleasing version of a firearm that exists! There. I've said it, but remember it's an opinion and not something to get that worked up about.

Yes, I'd take an SBR AR with a folding stock over one of these. Or literally any other reliable bullpup that doesn't look like an 80's video game graphics version of a spaceship.

Probably have to agree with you on that. It's a polarizing design aesthetics wise. If some people love it, that's cool, but for my personal taste I would ratehr have, and do have, a folding AR in 300BLK over this. They are really tiny when folded fwiw.

I have an AUG as well as multiple ARs in multi calibers and lengths.

The Aug isn't for everyone and not my favorite but I do like it. I really like the 16" performance out of a length I can clear the A pillar with whilst seated in a vehicle.

OF COURSE they aren't just offering the barrel assembly in blaque or even better, an integral unit at 16". THAT would be hard to pass up.

I guess be careful what you wish for!

I don't think I like the idea quite that much!!!

When the bored Austrian engineers were running it over with a truck and purposely shooting squibs to see if the barrel would explode, I think aesthetics were the last thing on their mind.

I think they're cool but ugly.

As a reloader , gun guy it took me a minute to jump on the band wagon, I now have semi and bolt guns in this caliber. Truly excels killing them brush bucks. As a reloder I have so many choices and bullet profiles.

Took me a while also. Nice that it has more energy than 5.56 in shorter barrels.

Heres a graph I put together to compare .223 vs 300 BLK vs 7.62 x 39 vs .308 energy levels (fpe). Choosing 12.5" was arbitrary as that was the barrel length I was researching.
