Frequently Asked Questions

How do you perform a reload on a Steyr AUG rifle?

To reload the Steyr AUG, first remove the empty magazine from the stock-integrated magwell by pulling it down. Then, insert a fresh magazine until it locks. Finally, perform the 'AUG slap' by pulling the non-reciprocating charging handle rearward and releasing it to chamber a round.

What is the 'AUG slap' technique?

The 'AUG slap' refers to the method of operating the Steyr AUG's non-reciprocating charging handle. It involves pulling the handle firmly to the rear and then releasing it, which chambers a round from the inserted magazine and prepares the rifle to fire.

What are the key features of the Steyr AUG A3 M1 shown?

Why is the AUG's charging handle non-reciprocating?

The non-reciprocating charging handle on the Steyr AUG remains stationary when the bolt cycles, preventing it from moving during firing. This design enhances shooter comfort and allows for consistent manipulation without interference.
