Really enjoy your videos,,,and have bought equipment based on your videos and recommendations.

This video brings up a question, at the end of the video you show a pair of gloves that you are using,,, with it looks like a seam on a finger torn due to what you say is getting to close to the gas system on the Steyr Aug,,,since I never wear gloves except in the coldest weather,,,could you clairify would that be a problem with the Aug,,, do you have to watch where you put your hands on the rifle?

Watched the video a second time, where you say the gloves were burned by getting your finger too close to the gas system, your technique looked perfect on the video and as I would probably not be as careful as you were this looks like a definite drawback to a rifle I would otherwise really like to try out and own, do the FN bullpup rifles have the same drawback? Thanks!
