The STG 77 was designed to be the main battle rifle for the Austrian Army, since 1979 many other countries have adopted it into their police and military forces.
Ambidextrous Rifle, and features interchangeable barrels that can be quickly switched out without breaking the gun down.
It is implemented with a 2-stage trigger, pulling it half way causes it to fire semi-automatically, pulling it all the way causes full auto fire.
The barrel features a 6 right-hand grooves and a rifling twist rate of 288mm (1:9).
This gun was made famous to the younger crowd do to the Call of Duty Franchise, which uses this gun in its Modern Warfare series.
The Steyr AUG is a excellent battle rifle, as well as a fun civilian semi-auto shooter, although illegal in California do to overall length, it can still be purchased in most states.
I love this gun because of its look, its long service life and simplicity of shooting. It is capable of almost all attachments.
