TM FAMAS vs. Steyr AUG
 

Which gun do you think is better (even though I assume they are similar in performance) and which gun do you think looks cooler?

Well I don't know for sure if they are similar in performace, but I have been very pleased with the performance from my Aug, both when it was stock and now that it has been upgraded. Can't say a bad word about it.

As to which one looks cooler, I think the Aug looks way cooler, but that is a matter of taste.

To declare my bias I should say I am of Austrian desent. :D

LD

FAMAS -V1 mechbox, bitch to repair and upgrade.
AUG -V3 mechbox, stronger, easier to repair and upgrade.

FAMAS -Creaky ABS plastic. Can be solved with a bit of work.
AUG -Not creaky. Very solid.

FAMAS -Good weight, long barrel, good accuracy, insane fire rate.
AUG -Very heavy, even longer barrel, average fire rate.

FAMAS -Large battery, can run all day.
AUG -Small battery, I've seen people blow through 3 in a day.

FAMAS -French.
AUG -Not French.

FAMAS -Looks cool IMO.
AUG -Fracking ugly IMO.

FAMAS -Google is a wealth of information.
AUG -Google is a wealth of information.

Any more questions?

FAMAS - Not sure about disassembly
AUG - Comes apart in 3 pieces, plus a mechbox :) A LOT of metal.

AUG is very heavy.

battery compartment is small.

i prefer the AUG but i own an aug, the famas just felt to "plasticy" to me I was purchasing my rifle

Mechanically? The airsoft AUG wins.

Yea, I kinda lumped that in with "Bitch to repair and upgrade" I've never attempted to take mine apart, and I don't intend too. :p

I've got both, and love them to pieces. Personally, I could say which I prefer better- they seem to have about the same range on them (AUG seems to shoot a tiny bit harder, though), and takes apart easily while the FAMAS is the biggest pain to take apart I've ever had to deal with. Still, that's not a huge issue to me.

They both have their ups and downs- for me, the battery placement in the AUG really pains me, while the FAMAS takes a Large with no problems at all.

WTF kind of AUG do YOU have? It takes like 5 seconds!

Whoops, typo. I meant FAMAS, the AUG takes apart with no effort at all. I've got a vintage Marui AUG Mil.

The FAMAS takes a billion little screws and pieces.

Edited original comment.

I've used both of Bob's and personally I like the feel of the AUG, but I have never used it in a game. The FA-MAS on the other hand is a very good weapon to have in the feild. Good range, accuracy and ROF. So right now for practical use the FA-MAS for cool factor AUG.

Why isn't the AUG practical?

I've only ever held one at ASCA, but from what I saw/felt, shit, I loved it. Much more than any Fa-mas (in terms of comfort).

I'm also pretty sure the Aug has a smaller profile in it's stock form...

That trigger guard makes me want to do secks to it :p.

The aug can take a 9.6 volt 2300 mah battery no problem. Too small for you?
