An Australian F1 sub-machine gun. Note the position of the sites. Why would they mount them on the right side of the magazine port? You'd think they'd mount them on the left considering most soldiers are right handed. (They also did this on the older Australian Owen sub-machine gun)

I’ve never handled one, but maybe the idea is that if you do a cheek weld on the receiver then your right (dominant) eye is to the right of the centerline? Or maybe it’s just an Australian thing, can’t figure out what side of the road to drive on either.
