The L1A1 was the standard British Army infantry assault rifle from the mid-1950's through to the late 1990's, ultimately being replaced by the bullpup-configured, 5.56mm-chambered L85A1 of today. The L1A1 stemmed from a British military need to arm its infantry with a modern automatic weapon chambered for the widely-accepted 7.62 x 51mm NATO standard cartridge. Development of their own assault rifle (the bullpup "EM-2") was eventually abandoned, leaving the Army to look elsewhere. Since there were limited locally-produced possibilities, the British landed an agreement with the Belgium firearms firm of Fabrique-Nationale (FN) to license-produce the hugely successful FN FAL design.
