I’ve had Bolt Sleeves teeth shear off on one AUG, had a plastic lock break on a FS2000. Yet to have anything break on any of my X95s. Didn’t really own a SAR or T7 long enough to break anything. Never had anything break on PS90, ironically enough nothing ever broke on my KSG

Would be nice to see round count correlation to parts breakage

The lugs on the x95 bolt are big so I am guessing there is little chance of those breaking, but I don't know much on those and the wear, especially suppressed. Wonder on the extract too. Don't have much familiarity with piston driven guns.

Quoted: What parts break on various bullpups? How tough/good are the bolts compared to ARs? Which parts are prone to breakage during use? What do militaries see on those that use them like the x95, Aug, or VHS? Bullpups don't seem to be as easy to do quick field repairs. Break an extractor, not easy to replace in the field, if you have parts. Or break a lug, on an AR, remove the whole BCG and stick another in. Thoughts? You could do that with pretty much any rifle, not just ARs. Just have extra bolt carriers handy. Swapping out a bolt carrier on any military rifle design is generally as simple as popping a couple pins or latches. Swapping individual small parts like extractors is generally gonna be a pain in the ass to do in the field on any of them including ARs. I would say a spare BCG, gas piston assembly, and FCG should pretty much cover any small parts that are likely to break that you could realistically replace in the field. Handy that many (most?) bullpups have the FCG as a self contained assembly. |

an extractor or bolt wouldn't be any harder to change on an AUG vs an AR.
In 27 years of owning an AUG I broke a firing pin about 10 years ago. That's it. I do have a spare bolt on hand just in case |

The Tavor SAR have been known to break charging handle rod. That is the only part I remember seeing break other than the lock if you don’t use the correct tool. If you don’t follow the manual during disassemble or reassembly you can break the take down lock and/or the charging handle rod.
In my opinion the Tavor SAR has robust construction, is reliable with combat accuracy. |

I’m saying this as someone who’s crunched one myself doing that. |
