(Just kidding) That looks really odd. Does someone make an iron site you can mount on the rail on the scope? (Just kidding) That looks really odd.

Pretty clunky looking with all those rails compared to the 'clean lines' of the A1/A2 model, IMO.

It looks the same to me? It is probably only a matter of time before someone makes a railed replacement for the fore grip.

I much prefer the new military A3.

More seriously, thanks for this post - my wife is small made (not very strong) and cross dominant. She loves shooting though not hunting, and this looks like a good gift to buy her on her next birthday. Thanks, as always, for bringing the latest gun-news to your readership! Steve,

On the other, it does look rather...er, phallic. Still I've been wanting an AUG since Die Hard came out, so I'm hoping the American made version is as good as the European ones. Why do I want to buy stuff with rails on it so much? I am a tool. On the one hand, it looks pretty sweet. On the other, it does look rather…er, phallic.

It was compact and delightful. If it didn't cost as much as an M1A AND a 20" bull barreled flat top AR I would want one soon. Saw a Steyr AUG at a local gunshop. It was compact and delightful.

That magazine has got to get stuck on everything. To bad the P90 isn't STANAG... that would be awesome, a bit clunkier maybe after moving it up to 5.56 NATO (longer cartridge and all) but they could figure it out.
