AUG Para

The Steyr AUG Para submachine gun is a 9mm reversible conversion of the original Steyr AUG assault rifle, intended mostly for short-range police and special operations work. This weapons combines relatively compact dimensions with very good accuracy (compared with other 9mm submachine guns), thanks to a long barrel and closed-bolt firing. The Steyr AUG Para utilizes many basic components from the Steyr AUG assault rifle, including the aluminum receiver and polymer stock that make the AUG series of weapons so recognizable. A 16.5 inch 9x19mm barrel is installed, and the AUG's gas-operated locked-bolt action is replaced with a simple blowback action. The AUG's original firing system, with its hammer and pull-through selective trigger (a half-pull of the trigger results in single shots, while fully depressing the trigger results in fully automatic fire) is retained, and a special magazine adapter is installed into the magazine housing. Depending on the version of the Steyr AUG which is used for conversion, the 9mm version will retain its original sighting equipment.
