Anyone ever try silent drill excercises with their Garand?

[eth727]

Hey anybody out there flip and throw their Garands like USMC silent drill team?

[Bobby Ricigliano]

No, but once you have the manual of arms movements with an M-16 drilled into your brain, you can do it with just about any long gun.

I would not risk twirling any of my beloved Garamds or 1903's, that's what parade rifles are for!

[pterrell]

I wouldn't flip any of my rifles. I did, however, do rifle manual with my 1903 and M1 just for the hell of it. Worked out just fine.

Considering that the M1 was my issue weapon, and I performed on a few parade fields, I have no problem with the Garand drills.

I have not been able to master the Queen Ann Salute with an AR though.

I could see twirling a 10/22 but a 10lb Garand with bayo? That takes talent.

I flipped one of my CMP SG M1s last year and made a few hundy on the deal.

Friend of mine was in an Air Force Honor Guard. While the unit was practicing some Garand flips he took a bayonet to the thigh.

If I try it with my K31 and a 1914 pioneer bayonet, I won't have to make an appointment with my doctor for a vasectomy.

MOVE THE RIFLE AROUND YOUR HEAD, NOT YOUR HEAD AROUND THE RIFLE!!

I swear during Army basic training we spent days on end just marching and doing D&C. Fun times.

If I dropped my M1D Toole sniper the next thing I would do is shoot myself with it.

[Bobby Ricigliano]

If I try it with my K31 and a 1914 pioneer bayonet, I won't have to make an appointment with my doctor for a vasectomy.

When you attach a pioneer bayonet to a K31, it ceases to be a firearm and becomes a jousting lance.

"That's a fact, Jack"!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-)

Actually, I don't...

Boom shackalaca, boom shackalaca....

[6mmintl]

Did it in boot camp but it was anything but quite, we actually were told to slap rifle to make sound to coordinate everyone to get in step/cadence.

[Snerk]

I haven't (actually I don't have a Garand), but my fiancee did colorguard in school and still has her colorguard rifle. I wonder if I could convince her to try with my Mosin...
