Steyr AugSteyr Aug

The Steyr AUG is an Austrian 5.56×45mm NATO bullpup rifle introduced in the late 1970s, instantly recognisable for its futuristic design and integrated optic. By placing the action and magazine behind the trigger, the AUG keeps a full-length barrel in a compact package, giving soldiers excellent accuracy and manoeuvrability. Its modular system allows rapid swaps between barrels and configurations, making it ideal for everything from urban operations to longer-range engagements. Adopted by dozens of militaries around the world, the AUG has remained one of the most distinctive service rifles ever built — sleek, lightweight and decades ahead of its time. Shooting the Steyr AUG at Churchill Shooting Budapest feels like stepping into a sci-fi action film, making it one of the most unique daytime activities in Budapest and a top choice for visitors searching for unforgettable things to do. If you want a rifle that blends futuristic engineering with real-world punch, the AUG is a must-try.
