	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The L2A1 is an Australian 7.62mm automatic rifle and squad support weapon based on the FN FAL/L1A1 family. Chambered in [[7.62×51mm NATO]], it features a heavy barrel, a built-in bipod, and typically uses a 30-round box magazine. It is best known for providing controllable automatic fire at section level with a design optimized for durability and sustained use compared to standard service rifles.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		Australia developed and produced the L2A1 as a heavy-barrel, select-fire companion to the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle, intended to fill a light support/automatic rifle role within infantry sections. Manufactured at the Small Arms Factory at Lithgow, the L2A1 incorporated changes aimed at better heat handling and stability in automatic fire, including the heavier barrel and an integral bipod/handguard arrangement, while retaining the general layout and operating system of the FAL-pattern rifle.
	~~<br>~~[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			The L2A1 saw service with Australian forces during the Vietnam War, where it was carried on operations as a source of mobile automatic fire in jungle and rural terrain. Period photographs from South Vietnam document Australian soldiers equipped with the L2A1 and its distinctive 30-round magazine in the field. In practice, the L2A1 provided a heavier automatic capability than a standard rifle but still relied on magazine feeding, and it operated alongside belt-fed machine guns as section firepower evolved over time.
