Drill purpose rifle

Australian Defence Force Cadets use replica or inert L1A1 SLRs, F88I Austeyrs or .303 SMLE (Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield).

It is only used by cadets for practicing rifle drill, weapons handling tests and are easily identified, as they have white top covers as opposed to the normal green.

In the United States of America, active-duty military groups have for many decades raised the profile of drill purpose rifles.

Along with the performing groups listed above, military contractor Sports Network International, Inc. (SNI) hosts military drill competitions annually which bring together roughly 10,000 young high school drillers representing all four Junior ROTC service branches.

Hosting these events for three of the four service headquarters, the largest of these remains the all-service National High School Drill Team Championships.
