AUG
 

What is the Best AUG to Buy. Ive seen A1,A2,A3 and its all confusing lol.

also what brand is best aswell?

Ive Perfer the one with the scope already on but ide take the one with the rail aswell

Tokyo Marui or Classic Army

All AUG's have a V3 mechbox.

Get a TM or Classic Army. That's the only way to go.

Do you mean A1, A2, and A3?

V1 or A1 - is the Military Version or "one with a scope"

V2 or A2 - is the has a similar configuration to the military version except a rail replaces the scope

V3 or A3 - has a complete RAS housing on the front of the gun.

There is also a V4 or A4 out on the market that has a similar look to the above V3, however has a shorter RAS and longer outer barrel.

But if you want the scope, TM and CA is your best choice.

I'd only suggest JG if your going to us the body only, and upgrade the gear box.

The JG AUG body is trash compared to CA or even TM.

The internals are of course equally horrible. The cutoff lever and trigger assembly are plastic and the volume of grease was approximately equal to the bevel gear. LOL.

Yeah thats what i ment thanks

There's a Classic Army Aug A1 for sale in the classifieds right now :)

Just letting you know that the integrated scope on most guns is just horrible, doesn't really matter which company you get it from they're usually all just horrible (for sure true of pretty much all companies that make a G36 as I've held most of them in my hands before and checked out the integrated carryhandle scope).

My vote goes for the A2. Also, I personally like the look of the Phantom kit on augs. It makes it look super slick.

Get the A2 so you can change you're optics,i had both the TM and the CA and the TM is better in many ways.
I was almost deaf in one ear every time i used the CA and the TM was whisper quiet.

This is very true.

CA>TM>JG>Aftermath

The CA body is the best of all the makes using reinforced polymer. TM and JG use ABS and both are smooth. The TM isn't as smooth as the JC which makes it feel that much better. Aftermath (Clear) is ABS and has an odd texture on it. Makes it feel cheap but if you wear gloves you wont noticed it.

A1 - I have never seen or used one a proper one to test to optics (other than my buddies BE aug which was all plastic)
A2 - All my augs first came as A2.
A3 - These are nice. Look and feel great. One problem, you can't quick swap the barrel. The kit mounts connects the outer barrel unit with the upper rail so it doesn't twist off. However still can take the outter barrel and upper reciever off as an unit.

A2 is always the best choice. Only JG makes stock A3. However you can pickup the front kit online. There is one on the classifieds. Airsoftparts.ca had 3 different aug kits if you want to customize the front ends

Go for an A2 by TM or CA
The A3 as it's called is not an A3 at all, It's just an A2 with an overweight hunk of aluminum hanging on the front of it from the top rail that completely throws the balance of the gun off, making it very front heavy. If you want the closest copy of an A3 get the TM high cycle model (if you can find it) as it is the closest to a real A3.

the CA one has a metal spring guide
the railed one is fancy but the A1 with integrated scope is exactly what you need to own the field ( 1.5 magnification) plus you have iron sights on top of the scope.
and it is not horrible at all, I used it for years, it's perfect.

I loved the TM for its scope.... (Tasco one) but hated it for the wobbly and creaking body...)

As for the CA, I heard that it felt more solid, and doesnt wobble or creak! :)

IIRC, the foregrip is held on the CA via a metal pin, not a plastic one like on the TM. This plastic part tends to break.

I've owned three, the CA, the TM A1 and the TM HC. I -ADORE- the new version (HC) but do admit the body is a little creakier than the CA. Take your pick, but yea, stay away from JG.

If the HC's are available in Canada yet, pick one of those up. If not... maybe contact someone who lives in Japan that happens to export items such as these . . .

Actually, the pin on the TM is also metal.

Nop, TM has a metal pin too... but its a really weak potmetal... :S

it's not the pins that break on the augs, it's the top of the grip its self

Wrong the tm is metal... Althow airsort metal but metal non the less. I use to make some out of toolsteel.

Fair enough. I couldn't remember if it was the handle or the pin that snapped.. I've heard from several sources though that the CA one is more sturdy than the TM.

TM AUG A2 already upgrade with steel gears, bushings and 350fps spring. Im thinking of Buying that the reviews i have read are good.


What type of battery would fit?

i have a brand new used 1 time numchuck m4 battery 9.6v 1600MaH

if you buy mine, the handle already has the reinforced part and two batteries plus a side rail :D
nunchuk batteries fit if they're like that

Usually 8.4v or 9.6v mini's (2/3A cells)

ya the pot metal the TM handle uses is pretty much shit. I broke 2 already. They were fine when i was playing at urban fields like Flagraiders, where its out in the open with buildings. Once i move to my new field, TFS, its all woods play and i broke 2 handles right away. It likes getting caught on branches.

For batteries, the back is only 10.8cm X 4.6cm X 3.3cm. I have the old NiCad Block batteries. But one just died (8 yrs old) and i dont feel right running one battery, so im going to be picking up a set of Lipo.

You sir are shameless...;)

He's from France. With their military record, they are now imprevious to shame :cool:

I remember someone complaining once about the mag release on the AUG, saying that it makes mag changes a bitch, but I forget who it was. Watch this video and tell me you can't do a fast mag change with an AUG. You may need to add a little weight to your airsoft mags inside the base plate to make sure they drop but it works for me.
Steyr AUG A3 SA/USA Bullpup Demo (4min) - YouTube

I do not recognize this word


not french. Breton.We kicked the vikings' ass and were feared over the seven seas.

I need an A3 rail to put on my AUG... It makes the AUG so much better looking.

And yeah, I never really found it difficult to do reloads with the AUG. Just make sure that the screw by the magwell isn't too tight, or else the mag won't drop out (and you'll have to press really hard on the release).

anyone know where to find the aussie type scope for the A2 ?

Got a pic of the scope your talking about?

That would be one made specifically for the F88-It's the same optic as on the AUG A1 only in a stand alone housing by the looks of it. That would be my best guess. I doubt you'll find one for sale unless your willing to pay an arm & a leg.

That top pics making me think-maybe I'm not too old to go to Aus. and join the military there.lol.

Can't speak for TM since I've never held one, but the Classic Army is a little bit finicky. I've held a couple myself and would not trust them on the field. the entire barrel assembly is pot metal, a mate dropped his barrel down and it snapped clean off. If I were you, I'd go with the tried and true TM.

They're built the same. Also you can't expect a toy gun to be fine (especially the AUG which has a lot of plastic in it) after dropping it on it's barrel.

Something breaking when you drop it on the ground is really normal....

But what you are saying reminds me of some ppl on the forum that have landed on their gun when jumping in a ditch, and that complain about its quality... -_-
