AUG A3

The AUG A3 is a Submachine Gun appearing in Tom Clancy's The Division.

Overview
The AUG is an assault rifle of Austrian origin. It is the most widely used assault rifle in bullpup configuration in the world. The abbreviation AUG stands for Armee Universel Gewehr, German for universal army rifle.

At the time of the development the AUG featured state of the art design choices. The most distinguishing feature is the bullpup configuration. The trigger is placed in front of the magazine and the receiver doubles as the stock, resulting in a very short weapon. The furniture is made of a tough polyamide. The AUG is gas operated and uses a short stroke gas piston and rotating bolt.

The AUG is known as an accurate and reliable weapon. It fires the 5.56x45mm round from 30 round translucent magazines. The 42 round magazines of the light support variant can also be used. The two stage trigger allows for semi-automatic fire with a light pull and automatic fire with a full pull. The effective range depends on the barrel length and is given as 400 meter with the standard barrel.

Gameplay
An unusual SMG in the game, in that it tends to have higher innate accuracy (likely due to the longer barrel) compared to its peers, and a notably smaller magazine. Since the AUG is already among the higher DPS weapons in the game before mods despite the small magazine, it benefits greatly from extended magazines and gains significantly more DPS from this mod than many other guns, including other SMGs.

Benefiting more from stability than accuracy (due to its short optimal range, a feature of all SMGs), a lucky roll or craft with the 'Stable' talent can result in a gun that has it all, accuracy, stability, high rates of fire and high bullet damage.
