So I am going off on a tangent a bit. What was wrong with The Aug, and other 5.56 rifles like HK 93, the FN and others? And a host of others from the 80's-90s.
I had an AUG (new production from a couple years ago) and have used a couple different FS2000 a bit. The AUG was relatively accurate (~1.5-2 moa) with M855, and probably the best of the lot IMO, but still had it's downfalls. The trigger was pretty bad (as with most bullpups), and the gun was fairly heavy for it's size. It did feel nice in the hands and shot well.
The FS2000 has the same downsides as the AUG, but is less accurate, and feels like holding a 4x8 post. They are just bulky and chubby feeling, IMO.
Both of those rifles are way overpriced, IMO, for what they are; if they were US made in mass production they could be 1/4 the cost we have to pay now. I sold my AUG for $1800 IIRC, put that money into AR15s, and have been much happier. I'd buy another AUG for $600-$800, but they aren't worth any more than that to me.
