Several months ago I stumbled upon a nice Aug M3/M1. Several weeks ago I scored a stupid good deal on a VHS-2 (Hellion). Today I landed a Tavor x95...the 18.5" model with bayonet lug that was only produced for two years 2017-2019. Bonus...it came with a Geissele trigger. I think I'm good now. Unless an FS2000 falls in my lap. What's next?    |

I have two AUGs now thanks to my brother. I had a TAVOR and he got a TAVOR and then he sold off two rifles and some guy threw an AUG with the package that was missing parts. I traded the tavor and now I have two AUGS and 4 barrels. I'm happy with two AUGS. My daughter unit did a Haiku on my trade. Two Steyr AUGs now,Traded my Tavor away,Four barrels to swap |

| I have 4 AUGs, a Tavor SAR, a Tavor X95, and a 20” Hellion, along with a PS90, and an EM85A3 (currently undergoing finishing work but has already been transferred). My dad has an FS2000 that I’ve shot a few times, it’s a cool rifle even if not super practical. The only other ones that interest me are the Tavor 7 and the new FAMAS kits - I’ll probably pick up a 7 if I see one at the right price, and at some point I’ll grab a FAMAS kit and a Childers receiver. |

I have both an Aug and a Hellion. They both have their pros and cons. I prefer the classic old school lines of the Aug, especially with the original Austrian waffle mags (no NATO stock for this boy!). The Hellion is more modern as far as ergos go, and easier to suppress as it comes with a gas knob with a suppressor setting. |

I've had the old Bushmaster bullpup, the old Norinco AK bullpup, AUGs since 1990, 3 or 4 Tavors, and one FS2000. I'd say skip the FS2000. It felt like I was wrangling a fish. If you're collecting them, because reasons, then go for it. If you like the shooting experience, not so much. Maybe look for an original 900 series preban AUG. My first bullpup was one of these, and it is one of the few guns I've sold that I regret (and I've owned a lot of cool guy stuff over the past 42 years). |

The Hellion is more modern as far as ergos go, and easier to suppress as it comes with a gas knob with a suppressor setting. I still have an M17 and an AUG. The suppressor plug for the aug is cheap enough but many have also just made their own from the original plug their gun came with. I have a few other bullpups as well. The Aug sees the most use by far. |

My Trifecta is a little different take. I like to mix and match calibers. So here is what I got: IWI Tavor-7 .308 IWI TS-12 12ga. Keltec RDB 5.56 I also have some other bullpups, but those are the main line up. I can switch out the guns as needed. I'll eventually get another AUG, well I should say an actual AUG as I had a MSAR STG-556 before Steyr starting bringing them in again. I also have an A3 Triad currently with a 11.5" Foxtrot 5.56 upper. I may want to try a 6.5Grendel custom upper on a Foxtrot builder's kit, but I already have a few other 6.5Grendels that get very little trigger time as it is. Replacement ammo cost has made it less fun to eat away at the ammo fort so the 5.56 will be my main go to with the others being sprinkled in. A .300 BO upper isn't off the board either and they are easy to swap out uppers. A suppressed single shot CVA Scout with subsonics is definitely a fun gun that spreads out ammo use. |
