Which rifle is current in-service with the force?

• A. F-22 Raptor
• B. AK-47
• C. F88 Austeyr
• D. M16A4

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is which rifle is the standard service rifle for the Australian Defence Force. The F-22 Raptor is a fighter aircraft, not a rifle, so it isn’t the weapon issued to troops. The AK-47 is a historic 7.62mm rifle that isn’t used as the standard issue by the Australian forces. The M16A4 is an older U.S. rifle that has largely been phased out as the standard issue in Australia. The F88 Austeyr is the Australian-designed 5.56mm rifle that was adopted as the primary service rifle in the late 1980s and remains current in service, with later upgrades such as the EF88 variant. This combination of design, origin, and continued use makes it the correct choice.
