The Steyr AUG A3 M2 is an upgraded version of one of the most recognizable rifles in the world, featuring the same unmistakable shape and bullpup design with multiple enhancements. The most prominent improvement is an M-LOK style foregrip. This replaces the traditional vertical style grip and allows shooters to operate the weapon with a \"hands forward\" grip, similar to that of an AR-platform. The M-LOK attachment points, as well as a 12 o\'clock picatinny rail providers real estate for mounting lights, lasers, optics, iron sights, and other accessories. The foregrip is removable and can be replaced with a traditional vertical grip. The M-LOK foregrip features a quick detach attachment system, allowing it to be quickly removed for accessing the gas piston. Additionally, the M-LOK foregrip features shielding over the gas piston to protect the operator\'s hands from the hot gasses. Just like its predecessor, the AUG A3 M2 utilizes a short-stroke gas piston operation, allowing the rifle to run cleanly by venting out gas from the front of the rifle and a dual adjustment setting ensures flawless operation even with poor quality ammunition and in adverse conditions.
