Sorry to say, but I tend to disagree with MD Matt concerning the ‘awkward’ magazine change.
I have owned and fird a Steyr AUG SA A1 for the last 21 years and have won many IPSC-style matches with it. With a bit of practice (as always), magazine changes with the AUG are very rapid and also very positive.
As a matter of fact, basic human ergonomics states that it is much easier to reach for your opposite shoulder than it is to reach for a spot in front of your other hand.
Just try it 🙂
The first only requires you to turn your lower arm around the elbow.
The second requires you to extend your whole arm , using both your arm AND shoulder which is actually slower.
Also, the basic AR15 layout is such that the magazine has to be seated neatly into the magazine well, thanks to it relative long lenth.
The AUG’s is not nearly as picky as the AR15, and, in general, AUG magazine are much better quality wise as the average AR15 magazine out there.
I would want to trade my AUG for any other rifle, althoug the A3 certainly looks tempting.
