Check out my channel for other Steyr AUG videos. Left handed operation is covered in another video. This one covers a few methods of reloading the Steyr AUG. I use these names because they resemble operations of other weapons. I know its just watching a bunch of boring reloads, and why would you need to reload if you use a 42 round mag anyway...I digress. I generally think the AUG reloads faster if you use a "beer can grip" and you grab your full mag BEFORE pulling the empty one from the gun. I hear people say "I don't like the AUG (or bullpups in general) because they are slow to reload." It just comes down to different operations. Most have only AR-15 experience (or CoD expertise) and no experience on HK platforms, AKs, M1-A/Mini-14, STG-58/FALs, or other rifles that have unique manuals of arms or "paddle" style mag releases. An AR shooter may transition better to a SCAR or ACR that has more similarities to the AR. AUGs are not AR-15s, just like there are operations a Remington 870 shooter must learn for the Mossberg 590 or a Benelli M1 vs a Remington 1187. The operator must practice the movements associated with that weapon to become proficient. Go with what works for you, but I wouldn't say that bullpups are slow to reload. The failure to eject was not planned, and extremely rare. I left it in the video to show an non-planned malfunction clearance. Pistol is a Steyr M9-A1. AUG mag pouch by Gladius Holsters LLC. The "pinging noise" on the green AUG is a 51T Blackout. Suppressor is AAC M4-2000.
