It was designed by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in \r\nthe 1960s and is currently manufactured by Steyr Arms GmbH \u0026amp; Co KG.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1977, it was adopted by the Austrian Army as the StG 77 \r\n(Sturmgewehr 77), replacing the 7.62?51mm NATO StG 58 automatic rifle. \r\nSince then, it has been the standard small arm of the Bundesheer \r\n(Austrian Armed Forces) and various Austrian federal police units. Many \r\nother countries have also adopted variants of the Steyr AUG as their \r\nstandard-issue service rifle.\u003cbr\u003eThe importation of the Steyr AUG into the United States began in the \r\n1980s as the AUG\/SA (SA indicating semi-automatic). However, it was \r\nbanned from importation in 1989 through an executive order by President \r\nGeorge H. W. Bush. This order restricted the import of foreign-made \r\nsemiautomatic rifles that were deemed to lack \"a legitimate sporting \r\nuse.\" After six years, changes were made to the design of the carbine to\r\n meet importation criteria, allowing its importation once again. These \r\nchanges included a redesigned thumbhole stock replacing the pistol grip \r\nand an unthreaded barrel to prevent attachment of a flash hider or \r\nsuppressor.\u003cbr\u003eThe import ban expired in 2004, and in 2008, Steyr Arms collaborated \r\nwith Sabre Defence to produce parts for the Steyr AUG legally within the\r\n United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout KWA Airsoft\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KWA Lithgow Arms F90 GBB Airsoft Rifle is a licensed and faithful replica of the AUG rifle from Australia. It is based on the 20-inch variant of the F90 platform, featuring a bayonet lug and being the longest iteration of the F90. Users familiar with the AUG platform will feel right at home with this rifle and may even discover some pleasant surprises.\u003cbr\u003eIn terms of controls, the F90 shares many similarities with the AUG. However, it features a fold-up, low-profile charging handle, a design element derived from the FAL-based L1A1 used by the Australians. Unlike the original FAL, the L1A1's charging handle folds forward and out of the way when not in use. While the F90's charging handle doesn't fold away, it can be pushed up into a locked position to stay out of the way when not needed. This design feature may initially raise concerns about reload speed for AUG users. However, the F90 includes a bolt lock lever, allowing the bolt to be dropped after a reload without having to manipulate the charging handle.\u003cbr\u003eSimilar to the AUG, the F90 boasts an ambidextrous magazine release, safety, and a 2-stage trigger. The trigger offers semi-auto fire when pulled halfway and full auto when pulled all the way. For those participating in semi-only skirmishes, the KWA F90 is equipped with an automatic lockout trigger (ALO). The ALO is a pull tab located at the bottom of the trigger, preventing it from fully traveling to automatic fire mode. Notably, the F90 features a slot that allows for an SL40 UBGL-style grenade launcher attachment, although no airsoft grenade launcher is currently available for it.\u003cbr\u003eThe takedown process of the KWA F90 is similar to the real AUG, requiring field stripping to access the hop-up unit. The shooting experience with this airsoft rifle is enjoyable, with a squishy trigger characteristic of bullpup rifles. However, it is not as squishy as the Tokyo Marui AUG AEG. The F90 also features blowback, reminiscent of the GHK AUG GBB, further enhancing the shooting experience. The reload process is quick thanks to the bolt release feature, which was absent in the original AUG design. However, it's worth noting that the bolt release is only located on the left-hand side, making it challenging for left-handed users to access.\u003cbr\u003eLastly, the irony lies in the fact that this airsoft gun is based on an Australian design while airsoft itself is banned in Australia. This limitation may disappoint Australian enthusiasts unable to enjoy the sport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKWA Lithgow Arms F90 GBB Airsoft Rifle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1\/1 Scale Gas Blow Black Powered Airsoft GBB Rifle\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing SEMI \u0026amp; FULLY Automatic Shooting Mode\u003cbr\u003eLlicensed and faithful replica of the AUG rifle from Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer Lower Body\u003cbr\u003eMetal Receiver With 20mm Picatinny Top Rail\u003cbr\u003eMetal Outer Barrel With Muzzle Brake\u003cbr\u003eMetal magazine accommodate 30rds 6mm BB Bullets\u003cbr\u003ePolymer made Pistol Grip\u003cbr\u003eAmbidextrous magazine release, safety, and a 2-stage trigger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable HOPUP System\u003cbr\u003eAutomatic lockout trigger (ALO) System\u003cbr\u003eSling mount can be installed with any single, 2- or 3- point tactical sling\u003cbr\u003eRemember to check out our Store for accessories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KWA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44569185714404,"sku":"KWA-F90-G","price":387.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/1325\/2580\/files\/KWA-F09-G-3e.jpg?v=1706842312","url":"https:\/\/www.ehobbyasia.com\/products\/kwa-lithgow-arms-f90-gbb-airsoft-rifle","provider":"eHobbyAsia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
