AUG: The Gun Playing A Gun Disguised As Another Gun

The AUG is a curious weapon as its basic form comes with 9mm Parabellum ammunition, lumping it together with the SMGs. However, you are able to “upgrade” it into an assault rifle by converting it to use 5.56 NATO round, and further bump it up the foodchain,  giving it an LMG feel by attaching the 60-round drum magazine.

It is truly a wonderful weapon – the snappiness and fire-rate of an SMG, range of an AR with the capacity of an LMG. Here’s how to make one:

• Monolithic Suppressor & Merc Foregrip: Reasons as explained above.
• 60-Round Drum Magazine: Prolonged fire with small movement penalty.
• Tac Laser: Improve ADS speed & to balance out movement penalties from use of suppressor and 60-round magazine.
• Any choice of Optic: To improve effect in mid-range fights gained from the 5.56mm conversion coupled with the use of the Monolithic Suppressor. Our go-to optics are either the 4.0 Flip Hybrid or the Integral Hybrid.

Use this setup if: You like balance in life. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Things are best when they are just right.
