MSAU-2

This is my second MSAU but there are differences, mainly in looks, but there is a new safety in it and trigger guard. Also the barrel is shorter I think. Overall I think the looks are better and it still is most probably just as good as the MSAU.

Pros:
-Strong
-Accurate
-Semi-auto
-Removable magazine
-Doesn't use too many pieces
-Can have optional front grip
-Rather easy to use
-Safety
-Trigger guard

Cons:
-Handle might be uncomfortable for some people
-Can be hard to load at first (But becomes easier with some practice)

More Instructables by me.

Note concerning images : Image one shows the MSAU with optional additions. Image two shows the basic version.

To load remove the mag and place the pin in the appropriate area. Now place the ammo in the mag. Insert the mag into the ammo feed. Next push the white and blue rods in the ammo feed area out to the sides. Hook the rubber bands on the end of the barrel and the trigger spoke. Make sure the rubber bands are on both sides of the ammo. Once all the rubber bands are hooked push the blue and white rods back into the center. Remove the pin. Pull the trigger to fire (in case you didn't figure that out).
