First Impressions:
I bought my AUG from Redwolf Airsoft a few years ago. (They had great service) The $310 price tag included an upgrade to 340 FPS, 9.6v battery/fuse removal, and a charger. That gun was amazing from the second I got it. I took it outside and shot it right away. First thing I did was coke can chrono; it went through all sides of the can. (This doesn't apply to stock AUG.) It was powerful, and I quickly attached my SWATFORCE red dot scope.
In the Field:
At my first skirmish with it, everyone wanted to see it. Some thought it was too modern looking, but no one thought it ugly. And when we actually started shooting, no other gun could face up to my AUG. Especially in CQB and medium length confrontations. However, at around 40 meters (120 ft.) the BBs would fan out in all directions, and I couldn't hit a thing. In fact, one person just stood there at that point, aimed his Super 9 at me, and I was down. I don't know why this happened, but I blame the hop-up. I adjusted it again and again, but it always did the same thing when shooting parallel to the ground. When I shot up, however, the hop-up worked like a dream. Another thing that the AUG has going for it is it's noise level. Because the motor is so close to your body, your chest/arms end up dampening the sound. I figured this out right away, and attached my friend's silencer. After 1 round of using this configuration, I was banned from using the silencer because no one could figure out where I was in shootouts  .
Durability:
That same day, after we were done skirmishing, I accidentally dropped my AUG. After this, the gun only fired on full auto. I took it down to my local airsoft shop (JungleToy) and the guy removed the part that gives you that transition between the Semi and Auto stages, and from then on the gun worked fine. But in the end, that showed the gun's strength. It is the only gun I've ever been able to drop 4 feet onto concrete, still have it work! At my next skirmish, I used my AUG to much avail. We were playing woodlands, so I was never on a level surface, and the hop-up worked admirably. That day, I was the MVP with most kills, captures, bomb sets, and defusals. (We played Counter-strike games.) That day the gun was working well in both long range combat and CQC, so everything about it was perfect.
Special Features:
The AUG has many little features that make it completely unique and awesome. On the inside of the mock ejection port lies the hop-up. The cool feature about this is that it can be accessed by either the left-handed or right-handed ejection port if you change the side that the rubber port-blocker is on. Just pull back the cocking handle and lock it into place, and there lies the hop-up slide adjuster. And if you keep the cocking handle locked back, push in the little takedown lock, hold the gun around the magazine release catch and by the front grip, then pull apart, voila! Your gun is taken down from cleaning and/or transport. Another nice feature of the AUG is the simplicity of changing out barrels for installing long LMG or sniper outer barrels, or for installing shortened carbine or SMG length barrels. This process involves pulling back the cocking handle and locking it, holding down the switch behind the vertical grip, then twisting and pulling out the barrel. This separates the receivers from the barrel and hop-up chamber. The final features of the AUG are the two stage trigger for fast and simple switching between full and semi-automatic fire, and the 3 position folding grip. The grip can technically fold to vertical, diagonal, and horizontal positions, but I recommend only using vertical and horizontal. (Vertical is usually preferred by most people.)
Upgrade Potential:
After a few skirmishes with my AUG, I decided that it was time to upgrade. I bought an M120 spring and opened up the box. This was a fatal mistake. For some reason, the piston was back, and when I opened it up, the spring shot out, snapping the guide and scattering parts everywhere. I went out and bought a spring guide, but neglected to notice it was a version 3 box, not version 2. (I bought a v. 2 guide.)
Then I abandoned the gun, because I couldn't figure out how to get the box back together. The special trigger made it especially hard, I think. Not to mention that the gearbox is removed out the back, and I thought it would come out by opening up the entire shell. So I basically ruined my AUG...
Too bad...
Overall:
But while my AUG lasted, it was the best gun I've ever owned or seen in my life. However, it's difficulty of upgrading, slightly odd gearbox, and bad hop-up definitely bring down it's score. If you are smart, however, you can upgrade the gearbox with minimal modifications to the gun's shell, and minimal brute force effort. Just make sure you know what you're doing, and realize the difference between the AUG's cylinder head from other guns', and notice the difference between it's trigger and the trigger of other weapons. (Both inside and outside of the gearbox.) And the lack of a selector switch. That one threw me way off! All in all, this gun is the best airsoft money can buy IF you upgrade it's hop-up chamber. It's use as a CQB gun and woodlands/urban environment gun is invaluable, and no other gun can compete with the AUG's ergonomics, unique look, and versatility.
Pro:
- Great balance and ergonomics make the gun feel like an extension of your body
- Two-stage trigger makes for simple switching from quick, accurate semi-auto shots to all out full-auto fire.
- Takedown is simple and easy.
- Good power and accuracy due to bullpup design, long barrel.
Con:
- Hop-up mechanism needs work.
- Very heavy for the length.
- Parts are expensive and hard to find.
(I will put pictures in later.)
