Ever since I found out Popeye's has fried apple pies that are almost just like MCD used to have, I've been jonesing for them like every day. I finally drove way out of my way to get some lol
The chamber is right by your ear.
Generally speaking, the triggers are bad because of the linkages required to operate the fire control located several inches to a foot behind the actual trigger location.
And as Miles said, changing the magazine takes some big movements.

Manual of arms. But once you get used to it, it's not really a negative. I sold my AUG because I had a few ARs. In retrospect, I should have sold the ARs and kept the AUG.
Running a suppressor on an AUG used to be a little more involved than an AR. But I think that's been somewhat rectified last time I checked.
Some people may see the proprietary mags as a negative, but I don't see it that way. They're incredible mags.
I suppose if you ever suffered a parts breakage, it's not like you can just order an LPK and get what you need. But I can't really ever see suffering a failure from a broken part.
I think I remember the cheekweld being a little tall when running an optic.
If I can get into another AUG, I'll do it in a heartbeat. I've got other irons in the fire ATM so it will have to wait.

I never noticed the chamber location being a problem, but I was also wearing earpro at the range. Goodbar shot it also...maybe he'll chime in with some thoughts.
The trigger never bothered me, but yeah, it's nothing like a 2 stage in an AR. I can see where some ppl may not care for it.
As far as mag changes go, watch some youtube videos on CQB and mag changes. It's all just learning the manual of arms. Also, I believe some of the videos I was watching, the Dekalb PD was using AUGS...I'll have to try and find the video when I get home...
14.5" pinned and welded AR vs 17.2" RDB
We went to Palo Duro canyon on our Utah trip the first week of March. I brought my Firebox stove and cooked ribeyes, I wanted to surprise the wife, so I had brought some flour mix in a ziplock and some frozen blueberries. I cook all sorts of meat, but I'm no baker or dessert guy.
I added a little milk to that flour mixture, and rolled out some dough. Cooked down those blueberries with a little sugar. Heated oil in the cast iron skillet and sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar on the outside after frying.
We had camped in the van all week, cooked some good meals, ate at some decent restaurants - but those steaks and veggies followed by a fried blueberry pie was the best meal by far.
A new all-electric drone is totally silent. And it uses ion propulsion?
The majority of drones produce noises in the vicinity of 85 to 96 dB, but this one has taken the sounds of progress to a new low of exceptional audio comfort.

70db isn’t silent though
Yes, but a big improvement. I'm imagining a Dyson blade-less type fan in quadcopter form.
At some point, you can't get the rushing air to be much quieter.

After 6 years, the "temporary" fence in the backyard is gone. Good grief I'm tired.
