History

 The AUG is an Austrian bullpup 5.56mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1970s by Steyr Mannlicher GmbH & Co KG (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch). The AUG (Armee Universal Gewehr—"universal army rifle") was adopted by the Austrian Army as the StG 77 (Sturmgewehr 77) in 1977, where it replaced the 7.62mm StG 58 automatic rifle (a license-built FN FAL).[3] In production since 1978, it is the standard small arm of the Austrian Bundesheer and various national police units.

The rifle has also been adopted by the armed forces of Argentina, Australia (accepted into service in 1985 and manufactured by Australian Defence Industries in Lithgow, this F88 Austeyr model is also in use by New Zealand), Bolivia, Ecuador (since 1988), Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia (introduced in 1978), Pakistan, and (since 1988) U.S. Customs Service (now the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency).

The AUG, a bullpup 5.56mm assault rifle, is a selective fire weapon with a conventional gas piston operated action that fires from a closed bolt.[4] Designed as a family of rifles that could be quickly adapted to a wide variety of roles with the change of the barrel to a desired length and profile, the AUG is a modular configuration rifle that employs a high level of polymer and advanced alloy components.

The primary variant of the rifle, designated the AUG A1, consists of six main assemblies: the barrel, receiver with integrated telescopic sight, bolt and carrier, trigger mechanism, stock and magazine.

The AUG uses the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and the standard 1:9 rifling twist will stabilize both SS109/M855 and M193 bullets. Some nations including Australia and New Zealand use a version with a 1:7 twist optimised for the SS109 NATO round.

Singleplayer/Co-Op

The AUG is used by Hudson and all the members of the CIA in WMD with a Suppressor and a Swarovski Scope, and has Yukon camouflage applied. An AUG with an ACOG sight can also be found in the little room where Hudson and Weaver breach through the windows (swapping it for the suppressed AUG is recommended, because from that point onwards stealth can be done with the crossbow). It appears to be the signature weapon of Grigori Weaver.

This weapon is available in the Nazi Zombie maps "Five" and Kino der Toten via the Mystery Box. It is seen with the Swarovski Scope which can cause slow ADS. Pack-a-Punching it will add a underbarrel Masterkey. When Pack-a-Punched it becomes the AUG-5OM3, a play on the word "awesome." The Masterkey comes with 36 rounds and can kill hellhounds with one shot up to at least level 25. The Masterkey , however, is weaker than a standard shotgun, but it can be useful if the other slot is used for another weapon. In the Wii edition it can be found in Kino der Toten in the Theater Room under the auto turret. The fact that you can buy it off the wall in the Wii version makes the gun highly popular.

The AUG is unlocked at level 26. It is, damage and range-wise, the same as the Famas, sharing very similar iron-sights as well. The AUG is very powerful, killing in three hits at close-medium range with a very high rate of fire and little recoil. At longer ranges, where four hits are needed to kill, it becomes slightly less effective as burst-firing is often needed to counter the recoil.

Unique to other weapons, the AUG can be fitted with its signature Swarovski Scope which replaces the ACOG attachment. The Swarovski Scope is extremely clear, and due to the amount of screen that is filled, some people find Swarovski Scope headshots very easy to obtain because of the fine hollow black dot at the scope's center. However, going full auto while aiming down the scope amplifies recoil, which is detrimental to the AUG's damage output, one of its strongest features. At long ranges, the Swarovski Scope can be extremely effective if the player fires the AUG in continuous 2-round bursts. This keeps the recoil at a minimum, and prevents the weapon from jumping to the right or left, taking it off target.
