  STEYR AUG EDITORIAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Steyr AUG was developed by the Austrian Office of Military Technology under a project headed by Colonel Walter Stoll.
The AUG is equipped with a 1.5x optical sight (made by Swarovski Optik of Tyrol, Austria) designed for today's typical battle ranges of zero to 300 meters.
The gas-operated AUG fires from the closed-bolt position, except when the open-bolt kit is installed.

 STEYR AUG FAMILY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Steyr AUG comes standard with a 1.5x optical sight which is built-in to the receiver and is fully protected from damage by the aluminum receiver housing.
The AUG's center of balance is directly centered at the pistol grip allowing it to be operated with one hand if necessary as opposed to other weapon types which tend to be front heavy and cumbersome.
This gives the AUG an advantage, as the safety may always be in the "on" position; at the moment the user has acquired a target and is ready to fire, the safety can be deactivated, the weapon fired, and the safety reactivated without any noticeable loss in target engagement time.

 The Original AUG
In 1978 when the the aug was introduced there wasn't the mired of add on accessories which are added to today's firearms.
Some ADI augs have been sold in the USA but it is kind of confusing weather the assembly of these recievers into a rifle is legal or not.
The trigger guard of the AUG is large and open allowing for use in cold weather conditions where gloves may be worn.

(15 Aug) - Parents coping with the distress of schizophrenia in their children have been caused further pain, a well-organised campaign would have us believe, by a series of articles in The Observer Magazine which examined the possibility that some parenting methods may actually be the cause of the condition.
In the bridge to adulthood, also referred to as early adulthood, many more young people are caught between the demands of employment (e.g., the need to learn advanced job skills) and economic dependence on their family to support them during this transition.
What makes these females unafraid when it comes to protecting their young may be low levels of a peptide, or small piece of protein, released in the brain that normally activates fear and anxiety, according to new research published in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience.

The AUG uses a short piston stroke, gas operated action, with the gas piston mounted inside the compact gas block, which is fixed to the barrel.
The AUG action features a bolt stop device, that holds the bolt group open after the last round of ammunition from the magazine is fired.
The housing of the AUG rifles, integral with the pistol handle and triggerguard, is made from the high impact-resistant polymer, and is usually of green (military) or fl (police) colour.
