Steyr AUG
Steyr AUG is an austrian assault rifle created in 1977. It's also constructed in "bullpup" system, which I described in post named Famas. AUG is a shortcut : Armee Uniwersal Gewehr, which means in English Army Universal Rifle. The gun is really accurate, so it's considered to be one of the best assault rifles. This ownes mainly by 5,56 NATO bullet. Moreover it applies a transparent magazine, which shooter can check the amount of cartridges at any time.
Bullet : 5,56x 45 mm NATO
Magazine capacity : 30/ 42 bullets
Country : Austria
Inventor : Steyr-Daimler-Puch Company

Famas
Famas is a French adaptive combat rifle. It shoots standard NATO cartridge (5,56x45). It's constructed in an unusual but increasingly popular arrangement "bullpup". Bullpup means, that magazine is behind pistol grip and the trigger. On the one hand, it's very comfortable, because it's shorter than classic rifle while maintaining the same length barrel. Moreover, the recoil is less,by placing the flask and the barrel in one line (so accuracy is better).
But form the other hand, changing magazine comes impeded now and aiming line is placed much higher and it is difficult to excel in extreme circumstances (for ex. behind the cover).
But now, Famas and all bullpup system becomes really popular and acceptable by the scorers.
Bullet : 5,56x45 NATO
Magazine : 25/30 (from M16) bullets
Country : France
Inventor : Paul Tellie
In this post I want to open a new thread on this blog about the weapons which are constructed in "bullpup" system. At the same time I want to close the thread about the Glock pistols. I described the most popular models, although there are many more of it, but differ only in caliber or size.
