This configuration optimizes maneuverability without compromising ballistic performance.
Key Features
Bullpup Configuration
The AUG A3 M2’s bullpup architecture critically positions the action rearward, enabling a substantial 16-inch heavy barrel while maintaining a concise 28.15-inch overall length. This design mitigates the size typical of rifles with equivalent barrel lengths, enhancing portability and close-quarters handling.
Short-Stroke Gas Piston Operation
Utilizing a robust short-stroke gas piston system, the AUG A3 M2 vents operating gases forward, ensuring cleaner internal operation compared to direct impingement systems. This design promotes enhanced reliability and reduced maintenance cycles by preventing fouling of the receiver.
Dual-Adjustable Gas Regulator
The rifle incorporates a dual-setting gas adjustment system. This feature permits the operator to optimize gas flow for consistent and reliable cycling across a spectrum of ammunition types and under varying environmental conditions, including adverse scenarios, ensuring flawless operation.
Heavy Barrel Profile
Equipped with a 16-inch heavy barrel, the STEYR AUG A3 M2 is designed for sustained performance and enhanced thermal stability, contributing to consistent shot placement and long-term durability under demanding use.
