This video analyzes the Australian F1 submachine gun, a successor to the Owen SMG. It details the F1's design, highlighting its similarities to the Sterling SMG, such as the top-mounted magazine, and its simplified construction using a sheet metal tube receiver. Key differences from the Owen include the absence of a separate recoil spring system and the placement of sights on the right side. The F1 was manufactured between 1962 and 1973, saw service in Vietnam, and remained in use until the 1990s. While deemed an adequate submachine gun, it reportedly didn't achieve the same level of troop affection as the Owen.
