Why do I think that those Garands just might not be fireable?
Mighty purdy though.

Wimpy AF. Surely by the time they make E-5 they know to keep the trigger guard in the shoulder pocket.

These aree low-grade toylike dummy "M-1" rifles the USAF is buying these days for their color guards. I guess welded-up real M-1's were too dangerous. Frequently seen at big NFL games etc., carried by the color guards. Other services may be using these toy guns, too, but the USAF seems particularly taken with them.

Yeah. USAF has a history of playing with toy guns. The M-16 comes to mind.

As I remember, when you phoned SAC, they answered the call, on time and on target.

And when there's incoming, they die for their country like any other serviceman.
