HISTORY
The L1A1, also known as the self-loading rifle (SLR), was the standard infantry rifle for many Commonwealth militaries. The L1A1 is a redesign of Belgian FN FAL designed by Dieudonné Saive, a Belgian small arms designer. The L1A1 uses the inch cut pattern while the FN FAL is in the Metric cut pattern. The Australian Armed Forces adopted the L1A1 in 1954, when NATO called for the adoption of the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge.
The L1A1 is a semi-automatic gas-operated with an internal piston, rifle. It utilized a staggered 20 round magazine that fired a 7.62x51 NATO cartridge.
During the Vietnam War ANZAC forces preferred the L1A1 over the American M14 or M16 as it was believed that the L1A1 was a more rugged, reliable, and accurate rifle. They found that the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge was a more effective round to the M16's 5.56x45 mm NATO cartridge.
