A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

They are good and if anybody has a chance to see them in action...should.
They do show true discipline and my hat is off to them for the many hours they do in training and practice.

Notice the 03A3 Springfields instead of Garands, M14s, or M16s. I wonder why that is.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

You may be thinking of the one the Navy drill team uses. ![[Linked Image]](http://di1.shopping.com/images1/pi/64/e9/97/43204922-260x260-0-0_Bass+Pro+Springfield+Toy+Rifle+For+Kids.jpg)

My cousins son was chosen to try out for this. They started with 76 in the class, lots & lots of disipline & training. He said the bruises were on top of bruises on top of more bruises. 16 men were to make the team, he was #17 to get cut.

Ya theys Garands fer sure. You guys are right. Seen on my better computer, they're obviously Garands. Buy why Garands? They haven't been the service rifle since 1957. Maybe the drill movements are easier without a magazine sticking out.

When the army switched to the M16 in the late '60's, they had to eliminate most of the manual of arms. The Mattel rifles just didn't work for the old maneuvers.
I was at Ft Leonard Wood in the 1st training cycle to use the M16. We spent an hour standing on the field while the drill sgts tried to figure out what to teach us in the new manual of arms. It consisted only of sling arms and inspection arms. Everything else was gone.
