Steyr AUG

    From passing Renmore Barracks in Galway I'd often hear the soldiers out on the range.
    And of course from seeing the Steyr with soldiers escorting cash deliveries for banks.

    Now I'm was in a gun club and I'm left handed too.
    One out of nine people are left handed I believe.

    From reading about the Steyr online it seems it designed for right handed people by default but it may be possible to adapt.

    My question is are serving soldiers able or allowed to adapt the Steyr if they are left handed?
    From my very limited shooting experience I definitely would not feel confident shooting right handed. Much the same if you asked a right handed soldier to shoot left handed.

    So do the ciotógs have an option to adapt their weapons?

    All army weapons are right-handed, left-handers have to adapt.

    Steyr do make adaptable models, but they only make RH versions for the DF
