Tournaments?

AUG is a fine choice. All around a decent battle rifle, with a very large standard magazine capacity (80), nice thick transparent mags (very handy as you can see how much ammo is left and unique to boot), very long barrel compared to overall length (509-510mm barrel in a length very easy to hold), and somewhat decently upgraded to 310-330 fps. Few cosmetic upgrades, but who needs that?

My gripes, specifically to the Classic Army version though:

-Sling points are somewhat bothersome. Front sling point is in a weird spot so the sling often gets caught on the bolt and forward assist. Also very squeaky when new.
-Noisy as hell. As with all Classic Army AEG's, they're noisy as hell thanks to their well built motor. Decent shim job though, so the gearbox doesn't seem to take any of the blame.
-Forward handle breaks. You're gonna have to get used to that if you ever take a tumble with the AUG. And it's nigh impossible to replace (thankfully I got used to holding the trigger guard)
-Hopup unit blows goats. Seriously. Instantaneously buy a new hopup rubber (systema or prometheus both work wonders) and try and find a new hopup bucking as well. The stock one is just too soft so that even with the hop cranked to full, there's less range than a stock TM M4.
-Selector mechanism wear: Thanks to how the gun was designed, and how much electricity arcs through the gearbox, the selector mechanism will eventually wear down to the point that semi automatic does not function at all. MOSFET works wonders in this instance.
-Gearbox removal is a pain in the ass. It might be because I still have a first run CA AUG A1 body, but even the A2 seems to just look totally impossible to remove. (It's possible, but if you take a look at the AUG it looks impossible to remove)

All around, I quite like the AUG.
