Honestly the whole rifle looks like a "Non gun". Rubber butt pad and no front sight, the whole center of the rifle we see there is out of whack...just for drill anyway.

Nor front sight on the second rifle. No clip latch, non essential parts...wonder if that's tape we see around everything?

The only real bad-sasses in the Air Force are the Combat Controllers, and the "PJ's" and there simply isn't many of them.

Those are real rifles but anything that can poke your hands and make you bleed onto your white gloves is removed. I think this is the Air Force Silent Drill Team. They are really good at what they do. They played the Virginia International Tatoo a couple of years back and I wasn't embarrassed by their precision. At this point I've seen the teams from the Army, Navy, and Marines. The AF gang is good. And remember that in war, the guys with the rockers on their sleeves give their lives just as well as any others.

Nothing makes the PBI happier on the ground than to hear and watch the 30mm GAU of an A-10 and it's effects on some stubborn belligerent who wants to carry on.

They 'de-horned' the 03A3's they used to use, as well.
