I really wish the Gunny would take a Dixie Chopper to his eyebrows.. they are totally unsat!

Perhaps he could go see a Turkish barber upon he next visit to Glock in Austria?

FWIW, last night (Monday), PBS had a documentary called "Soundtrack For A Revolution" as part of the "American Experience" series. There was a scene where police were shown holding their weapons in such a manner.

Did they have bayonets mounted, and perhaps doing the "stomp and drag? dance?

Honestly, the scene kind of caught me by surprise; I wasn't thinking of this thread until after the fact. It may re-air next week, though I think it's viewable on the web site as well.

I was just a little kid living in northern Michigan during the later part of it all and didn't realize how much a variety of issues polarized the country. In some ways, things really aren't so bad today. Then again, in other ways, they're worse.

In a strange coincidence I was watching some documentary on the evolution of the nuclear bomb on Netflix today and saw this exact technique being used. I had fallen asleep towards the end, but woke up in time to see some sort of Chinese propaganda film featuring a nuclear explosion and a bunch of their soldiers running around after the fact with goggles and gas masks on. They all had AK's, and while the one's mounted on horseback fired from a shoulder position, the guys on the ground were running up to the top of a hill and dumping half a mag using the exact same grip position. Thought to myself, "Hey, I just saw that the other night" LOL...

This pic needs a bayonet on it!

I've seen this in the old Vietnam war films and thought it was just bad acting!

Yes, Shemp, Moe, and Curly were actualy siblings from New York City, Shempwas the oldest(but not the oldest Howard brother), Curly (known as BABE by his brothers), the youngest boy in the family. Moe in the middle. NYUK NYUK NYUK

Anybody remember Col> Kirby in the John Wayne movie "The Green Berets", he held his M-16 by the carrying handle upside down through most of the movie (One of my all time favorite flicks) and with twenty one years of Army service (retired), I never once carried any of mine that way ever.

Yeah, but you weren't a Green Beret, were you? All of the good handshakes were already taken, so that is how they greet each other.

My favorite way of carrying an M16 was my thumb through the carry handle, my fingers around the slip rings and resting on the front of the magazine well. I can still feel it, though it's been 18 years. My mid-length flat top with Eotech doesn't allow for this kind of carry.
