Weapon Background
The F1 Sub-machinegun carbine was the Australian Army's standard issue sub-machine gun to serve alongside the L1A1 SLR battle rifle from 1962 (Initial Adoption) and April 1963 (First issuing) until the 1990's, until both were replaced by the F88 "Austeyr" bullpup assault rifle.[1]
Following the Korean war, the Royal Australian Ordnance Corps looked to replace the proven and battle-tested Owen Submachinegun carbine (Owen Gun) which mainly aimed to improve the standardisation of the weapon system with current issued firearms (such as the L1A1), and to improve upon what was the rushed design of the Owen Gun. A number of designs to replace the Owen were developed, and first came the "Kokoda" SMG, this weapon was lighter than the Owen but suffered from overheating problems and was later developed into the MCEM (Machine Carbine Experimental Model) which proved in trials to be inferior to the Owen and was scrapped. In light of this, a number of designs from the Australian Design Establishment that were designated 'X' were developed. The first two iterations of the 'X' weapons were improved upon to result in the X3 Submachine Gun, and after trials, became the F1.[2]
The F1 used a standard blowback action with a non-reciprocating charging handle. The charging/cocking handle was positioned on the left side of the receiver with its slot protected from the ingress of dirt by a dust cover. The F1 has a two-position fire selector with up for ‘safe’ and down for ‘fire’. The trigger mechanism allowed for firing single shots by pulling the trigger to the half-way point, this allowed the sear to trip into the semi-automatic position.[3]
The F1 incorporates parts from 3 different weapons to standardise the weapon within the army. It retained the bolt, magazine positioning and solid stock from the preceding Owen. While the bayonet, pistol grip and butt plate come from the then-standard issue L1A1 rifle to help simplify production. The weapon notably also gains the Sterling’s perforated barrel jacket and magazine.[4]
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.
Character Design
F1's design appears to be inspired by, and revolve around, the typical Digger in the Vietnam War mixed with more-casual-esque clothing. Albeit quite feminised.
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.
Another feature is her green 'vest' which is in the Jungle-green colours of the Vietnam War era Digger, its more casual instead of tactical webbing but more of a fashion choice. Absolute cutie. Under the vest, is a white undershirt and green skirt which again are not reflective of a soldier, but rather looking more like a Park ranger (inspired by Steve Irwin perhaps?).
She's also carrying a jungle green backpack, with a canteen attached again reflecting the Digger aesthetic.
The F1 SMG is about 71.4 cm in length. In the sprite, the weapon measures at about 12.277 cm in length, while F1 herself measures in about 26.723 cm high. Her height divided by the length of the weapon yields the scale of 2.17667182536. (71.4 x 2.17667182536) yields her height of about 155.4 cm tall. Note that she's slouching so her height can range between 155 cm to 160 cm tall. (though if someone comes up with a better calculation, feel free)

Trivia
- The F1 has its sights positioned on the side much like the preceding Owen SMG and others like MG BrenBrenBren. However, unlike those two weapons, the sights are canted and the weapon was expected to be held on an angle during use.
- She's the only Australian weapon in game, while other weapons are their original types pre-import such as AR AUGAUGAUG (in Australian service known as the F88 Austeyr) and MG M249 SAWM249 SAWM249 SAW (in Australian service known as the F89 Minimi)
