The AUG - or Armee-Universal-Gewehr - translating as 'Universal Army Rifle' - is of Austrian origin, developed and manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher. The design dates to 1977, and was intended as a replacement for the earlier FN FAL design, then in service with the Austrian military as the Sturmgewehr 58.

The AUG's performance is very similar to its French peer, then - but there are some differences in handling. Recoil performance is one key differentiating factor: while the FAMAS tends upwards and to the right, the AUG has much less predictable, omni-directional kick, with a slightly slower rate of recovery.
