FYI: Disadvantage of AUG rail receiver *LINK*

I came across this info about the AUG with the Picatinny rail. Apparently, in service use, the rail is sometimes cursed. Because of how close the edge of the rail is to the charging handle, soldiers are scraping their knuckles along the sharp edges.
I've never noticed this in my use, but I'm not shooting where there are incoming rounds either. Maybe it's a good reason to wear a glove on the hand that controls the charging handle as a simple solution.
