Jerry MiculeK VIDEO: BATTLE OF THE BULLPUPS: FN FS2000 vs. Steyr AUG vs. IWI TAVOR

[video=youtube_share;dYzwUsnryTo]http://youtu.be/dYzwUsnryTo[/video]

Jerry is admittedly unpracticed with bullpup platforms, yet is able to obtain excellent split times while maintaining acceptable accuracy with all three platforms. What surprised me the most was the AUG nudging out the TAVOR during the reloading drill. These three bullpup’s preformed extremely close to one another with the AUG winning the day by fractions of a second.

Thanks for the video. I really like JM’s reviews and listening to his thoughts. While he claims to not be very familiar with the platform, he still shoots the heck out of them. Guess his “not familiar” is relative to his probably being one of the most ‘familiar guy in the world’ with DA revolvers. And he’s definitely fun to watch his reactions, emotions, and cool Cajun expressions…

Thanks for sharing, really enjoy his videos. In the end no real winner…sure the aug ever so slightly edges out the other two on time…but in the end jerry leans towards the tavor, that being said from a world champion I have to agree. By the way that’s not a 80s Aug, the pre bans usually have a permanent scope. And the aug used In the test was loaned to him from a friend. I have shot the fs2000 and the Aug, I bought the Tavor:)

I totally agree, JM’s reviews are completely impartial and refreshing to watch. To many online reviewers display brand bias.

Good catch on the AUG! I own an FS2000, and will be purchasing a Tavor & AUG for my inventory.

Entertaining, and a good use of half an hour for me with the snow coming down. Not as in depth as others perhaps but he does show a good initial pro and con to each which is nice. I think from a aftermarket stand point though the Tavor has the others beat, especially the FS2000 which I am not even sure FN is making much of or any anymore. Not to say it is a bad rifle, just different and a bit funky, and it never caught on. The ejection of that thing was something I would need a few hundred rounds to get used to though. Have thought about getting a Tavor though I personally think the AUG is just sexy.

Cool!!! I would love to shoot like him!!!

Yah, Bullpup’s take a little getting used to. It appears that FNH is finished importing the FS2000 to the US market. “It’s on hold”. I love mine but will reducing the amount of trigger time on her. A Tavor & AUG will fill in nicely.


My issue had more to do with the rifle puking the brass out after the first four or five rounds. Ended up with a flinch from hell from it. Other than that it shot fine with irons. Was quite easy to make rapid hits on steel at close-ish, 25-50 yards, from standing. Again, while not my first choice, I would take it over some other rifles out there, and must admit that I am glad that I had the chance to shoot one and get a feel for it.

Check out JM’s long range j frame marksmanship!

That is awesome. I know his daughter is quite the shot as well.

Yah, she rocks!

Actually, it was the AUG that nudged out the TAVOR in the reloading drill. The AUG was 4.3 and the TAVOR was 4.74 and the FS2000 was 5.1. Since I own and have practiced with the TAVOR, mag reloads can be done a bit quicker with a different technique.

Good catch; definitely worth a re-watch.
AUG 4.23 seconds
TAVOR 4.74 seconds
FS2000 5.18 seconds

I’d like to see an Aug. be as quick as this Tavor speed reload…old video but still get some inspiration duplicate

The forward ejection of the FS2000 is a great feature; it keeps the brass from bouncing off the face when firing from the weak shoulder.

I’m not sure how to feel about the fairness of those speed tests. There was a lack of consistency with those moving targets & he had had to wait on one with the FN. He also always started cold on the Tavor, which he did acknowledge. They all should’ve been outfitted with the same optic too. Otherwise not too bad of a review.

Anyone else raise an eyebrow at that cluster*** of an ammo shelf? Or how about about the OSB trophy wall?
Both just seemed weird to me.
