- The Steyr AUG has now been sold to more that 20 armies. I don't remember all
- of them, but I remeber that it has been sold to Australia, to several arabian
- countries and to the Netherlands.
-
- Many police or border services have also adopted it. If memory serves me, a
- US service (something like border guard or custom unit) did so.
