The F1 would live in the shadow of its predecessor, while still seen as a solid weapon choice, it simply was not preferred over the Owen gun. During its frontline service in the Vietnam War, the F1 was often supplemented or outright replaced by stocks of M16's from the Australians' American allies.

F1 is a T-doll of coming in at roughly 155-160 centimetres tall. Her design appears to be inspired by, and revolve around, the typical Digger in the Vietnam War mixed with a more feminine casual outfit.
She wears a green slouch hat, peaked on the left side and featuring a white-creamy coloured Puggaree. Which is traditional Australian military headwear. Although the green is
an odd choice as the Slouch hat is typically Khaki, this is probably fused together with the giggle hat that Australian soldiers wore often in place of helmets during the
Vietnam war. F1 also carries a jungle green backpack with a canteen attached. <ref> [http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-equip/australian_2.htm Australian Infantry equipment in the Cold War] </ref>
Another feature is her green 'vest' which is in the Jungle green <ref> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8tFiajBxEI Jungle Green] </ref> colours of the Vietnam War era Digger, its more casual instead of tactical webbing but more of a fashion
choice. Under the vest, F1 wears a white button shirt, which paired with her green vest gives a more park-ranger aesthetic over the predominant digger aesthetic. (Possibly inspired by Steve Irwin, because typical Australian icon as reference)
A specific item of clothing to note is the jungle green non-pleated skirt. While non-pleated skirts are common items of clothing for women in the Australian Army, it is worn
under her shirt in a casual fashion.
