Australian Army Comparing the L1A1 SLR (self-loading rifle) with the Enhanced F88 Austeyr rifle (EF88).

“The L1A1 SLR is a gas operated, semi-automatic, magazine fed rifle, weighing in at approximately 4.4kgs. The SLR has an effective firing range of 800m and was the standard issue weapon for infantrymen in the Vietnam War.

The Australian built EF88 is one of the lightest weapons currently in service, weighing in at 3.39kgs. The EF88 has an effective firing range of 300m (1.5x) and fires up to 850 rounds per minute.

In comparison to the SLR, the EF88 is a remarkably ergonomic, well balanced and lightweight weapon characterised by superior accuracy, reliability and modularity.”
