Steyr AUG vs IWI x95 for patrol car

[Enochwel]

Steyr AUG A3 M1 or IWI X95?

I'm going back and forth between these two... I've already decided its going to be between either of these. Coolness and nostalgia factors mean absolutely nothing. Gotta be reliable. Cost of upgrading x95 trigger to the gieselle is also not an issue.

So for the purpose of front seat of patrol car, with the assumption of being on scene during an active shooter situation once per week and serving felony warrants/clearing houses, which of these two would you depend on and why?
Thanks for your input!

Well, I bought the Tavor SAR-G18 when it was on sale for $999 shipped about 8 months ago.
My vote would be IWI.

I have an older AUG that I bought new thinking I would one day buy a registered trigger pack for. Can't do that with an IWI X95! It's something I have thought about selling after I bought my M-16

IWI Tavor is great gun, I own one with a geissele trigger. If I had to find a place to put it in a squad car, I would sell it and buy the svelter AUG. 'nuff said.
You might want to look at a Sig MCX too. With the folding stock you get a lot of options.

Are you able to carry what ever you want?

Wat?

Among those, the AUG’s size/form factor seems better suited for a patrol car.

Where the hell are you driving a patrol car that you have weekly active shooter calls?

That's exactly what I was going to say. Holy shit what part of Texas is this? I want to make sure to avoid it.

I was asking if he could carry any weapon he wanted on duty.
I thought long arms were supplied.

My “Wat?” Was to the op

Nope. Its got to be a rifle by ATF standards by overall length and barrel. No sbr. So I want something with a 16 inch barrel and overall length of 28 inches.

Ah, without a quote, since it followed my post, I thought it was directed towards me.

Interesting.
Which department?

If a call goes out of a shooting, followed by another, then it's an active shooter. When in hindsight we find 2 shooters targeting 2 or more specific people, but yea there's been a lot of activity lately. It is abnormal, but I've run code to 4 such scenes over the span of a month. And served a felony takedown and a warrant on two of them. So I need a new gun.

Son's dept lets him carry a suppressed .556 SBR....

In addition to the front seat...a braced MPX pistol and a braced 10 inch Pro Series semi auto Black Aces 12 ga.

Don't even ask what he carries in the back................

I'm surprised that one could carry the type of weapons the OP is asking about.

ETA: More so something not an AR platform.

Its got to be 556, a rifle as defined by atf, and take ar mags.
