The Steyr AUG (Armee Universal Gewehr) is an Austrian "bullpup" assault rifle designed in the 1960s by Steyr-Daimler-Puch, and now manufactured by Steyr Arms GmbH & Co KG.

It is a gas operated semi and fully automatic assault rifle with rotary bolt, quick changeable barrel and integrated optical sight. The AUG is famous for its modular concept which permits field stripping into the main groups within a few seconds.

The AUG is the standard weapon of many Armed Forces and Special Units all over the world since 1977.
