It makes since because of being a young country in the world we don’t have a famous saber used in war. Not like the Europe’s old swords used for hundreds of years. So our ceremonial weapon is a gun not some ancient sword.

They use these older arms for the drills because of balancing, the old M1 was a gun, a club, and a spear. Much easier to keep a balance on than more modern arms.

As a Veteran, I can say that the M1 Garand is iconic, and yes I own a Springfield Garand made in 1942. It has a new barrel dated 1951, showing it was also carried in Korea. The rifle weigh's about 10 pound's without the bayonet.

The weapons used are real, M1 Garands to be specific(somtimes M1A's) and can fire bullets. The weapons are just old but meticulously taken care of.

5:50 His is in front of the Lincoln Memorial in DC. That's what the big building with the columns is. Opposite it, that pool of water is the reflecting pool, and at the other end of that is the Washington Monument.

As someone who's been a member of a base Honor Guard for several years, performed many details with it, and been trained by both the base level Honor Guard and the USAF Honor Guard mobile training team itself, I can personally attest that every weapon I recall ever handling... was real and very much capable of firing (though, of course not loaded unless needed to be so). That said, it's been years, so maybe I'm not recalling clearly, but that is what I remember. (And, obviously this is true for when I participated in "firing party" portions of details... which was my favorite part to participate in, and one in which I especially excelled.) Btw, Artur, all those "drill noises" in these videos are deliberate; they dramatically help in keeping teams in sync. We were explicitly trained not only in purposeful, timed movements but also in exaggeratedly producing audible feedback as a component of that movement (e.g., slamming hand hard against weapon when finishing a re-grip movement, or whatever).

Oh, yeah. One more thing. The USAF HG MTT airman who specialized in firing party mentioned this specific event (where they were basically just messing around) during our training, and he could not find the words to adequately express just how unbelievably loud this 21-man firing party was. (Normal "full" firing party is comprised of only 7 airmen, firing 3 times each, synchronized.) Search KZread for "USAF HONOR GUARD 21 GUARDSMEN FIRING LINE!!!"

i appreciate your interest in our country and military!

When I was in the ROTC drill team practice we used the M-14 rifle. it was the american standard issue rifle in the 1958. Then it became a ceremonial iconic weapon for the army and the marines

This video was better than the army one because this was more of an exhibition block while the army one was a ceremonial passing of guard change for the cemetery.

When I was part of drill teams we used actual '03 Springfield bolt action rifles. The only modification was the barrel was cut and welded so a live round could not be chambered.

Love the video

I mean, armed space is likely let's be honest. X47B and SR-71 don't go into space for no reason just to look at Earth: we have satellites for that. Considering Russia has made some weird underwater supersonic stealth nuke and the US has already made laser weapons, armed space is easily possible especially when you consider the US is the most technologically advanced military in the world.

Those are M1 Garand .30 caliber rifles. They were used through the Korean war and limited use into the Vietnam war. They are real rifles with real bolts. They are real bayonets without an edge on them. But they only use them for drill exhibitions now.

It depends on which branch of the military. Yes it is a symbol but it is also used as a Recruitment tool. Some still use M1Garand 30-06 from WW2 and Korea other use M14 7.62x51 from Vietnam, M14's are still used on Naval Ships and Special Forces

im going to visit Estonian because of you

The other video was about guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier...this is about a show. Look up the training a guard of the tomb must go through...it's insane.

The weapon is the M1 Garand used by the USA during world war 2 it was a weapon most were permitted to carry. Its the one that has the historic ping sound when ammo runs out in clip.

Saw an official pallbearer Air Force team do a funeral. Gotta say they were slick as hell. But those guys get that duty for like 2 years and its their whole purpose. Marines also have an official pallbearer team. There's a few videos about them that are awesome.

The weapons used when I did drill were WW2 Era M1 Garand Rifles that had their barrels filled with lead to make them unable to fire whilst still having a working bolt. They're much easier to spin compared to modern weapons since they're more straight and you don't have to worry about handguards and magazines getting in the way. The wood also makes for a rougher surface and gives the rifle more grip. I think it's also just since the US military hit its height in WW2 and so a lot of our traditions are centered around it. People often imagined the troops in Europe with M1 Garands when they pictured US troops so it also is a bit of nostalgia. I believe the British royal guard uses modern SA80s for their drill

Yes older weapons but still very battle tested. Most of these teams use a model of the M1 grand with a weight of approximately 10 pounds. I like the Marine silent drill team. You should check them out too.

U should react to us air force special forces (Pararescue), like so he can see

And I'm sorry I forgot the Winchester variant M1917 Enfield The M1917 weight empty and no accessories is 9.1 lb or 4.1kg The weight of the M1903 empty and no accessories 8.7lb or 3.9kg The M1. Grand weight with no accessories is 9.5lb or 4.31kg

Someone said it kind-of. But the M1 Garand is balanced and great for the twirling, etc. They're also quite heavy at about 9.5 pounds (4.3kg). We have a gazillion of them still. Every veterans organization (well the two main ones) have several that are assigned by the US Gov't for use in parades (they're de-armored and basically useful for clubbing someone if need be). The clacking is the action of the rifle rattling around.

They are usually M1 rifles that have been made unable to fire with blunted edge bayonets, point can still stab. They weigh about 10 pound (4.5 kilos)

The M-1 Garand is all metal and wood with the exception of the strap. It weighs 9.5 Pounds/4.3 Kilograms, not counting the bayonet. It is used for ceremonial events because of its balance and because it does not have an external magazine or pistol grip like the M-16 family of rifles.

The weapons themselves are the same weight and materials as "real" weapons. They have a working firing mechanism. The bayonets are "real" but they are not sharpened. They can stab but not slice. Yes, there are sometimes casualties during training, practice and even demonstration. In one case, a weapon was being held bayonet down and dropped driving the bayonet through the inspecting officer's foot.

This looks like a display put on, probably on a holiday, like Memorial Day or Independence Day. It is at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. The Army, Navy and Marines Honor Guards were also there. The videos are here in YT, as well. These teams are national and International Public Relations for the Military, much like the many different bands the military has, or the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. Also, the rifles they use are M-1 s. They are used for two reasons: They are well balanced and they don't have a lot of stuff sticking out from them, so you can catch them anywhere along their length.

M1Garand has a manual of arms detailing the how to for these maneuvers and marches. The brass at the time of the m16 hated the m16 project so much they wouldn't authorize a drill manual for the m16. I understand it was made but never adopted. So, any parade or ceremony march still has to use the m1 garand simply because it's the only rifle with a drill manual at arms.

In the Army, we learned D&C with our Vietnam era M16. I’ve only seen Army doing D&C with M4 on funeral details; although I’ve also seen funeral details using M1 and M14, all of those fired during the 21 gun salute.

According to the USAF website the drill team uses functional M-1 rifles.

Hope you're staying safe during quarantine

The M-1A1 military rifle not only has a vast history with the U.S. but it’s balance and shape make for a great platform. I was on the drill team in Airforce R.O.T.C. Before joining the Army.

The M1 saw action in Korea. The only used for the M1903 bolt action was in a sniper variant

@matthewblackwood9653

Also WW2 obviously.

They use the Springfield 1903 because its basically a straight stick, can't hit the floor with a tavor or a Aug. Also because it is one of our once issued rifles. You could do this type of thing with an m16 but the pistol grip would get in the way. Also the m16 isn't as pleasantly noisy. Just imagine rifle butting the floor and hearing the bolt rack every time lol

The rifles themselves can be functional or not depending on the performance. They are not often loaded, however. The bayonets on the other hand are almost always real and sharp. There is a famous video of a Tomb Guard dropping it on his foot and bleeding as he continued his routine. There are two reasons they use older rifles. One is because they are not issued so they can get easy access to them (and they look nicer), and two because it shows the historical context or the age of the unit or the individual routine.

The shape of older rifles like 03 Springfield and M1 Garand makes them easier to manipulate and spin without snagging on mag wells and pistol grips, plus polished wood and metal looks nicer and more traditional😊

The honor guard for the tomb of the unknown soldier can fire there rifle but they do not carry ammunition unless there is some form of threat or a reason for heightened security like if a diplomat or foreign leader was to visit and as for the bayonet they are not dull they are vary sharp.

The USAF Honor Guard uses the WW II M-1 Garand, it weighs 4.31kg. The bayonet is real but with blunted edges, the point however remains sharp.

And make no mistake... US military IS a competition. Always! God Bless ‘em

You should react to the "Silent Drill Team" I've seen them in person. Amazing.

So do you have to order the largest mug to get a shout out or can it be your 11oz cup too? I ordered mine last week but still no update

I have seen other drill teams use the M1 Garand rifle as well. I think that the solid shape and heft of the weapon allows for more positive balance and control. A lighter rifle might bounce off of an imperfect landing on the palm of a hand. It is probably also more durable if dropped.

The blue angles flew over Pennsylvania and New Jersey today... so good timing

I just wanna say that kids (15-18)in singapore are also doing precision drill with rifles. If you would like to watch it, search up woodlands ring secondary school PDS 2018. It will be a great video to watch 👍😉

I was just watching your live stream😂

I think the reason they use that weapon known as M1 Garand is that I think it is to honor those that have used them during the 2nd World War Era

Yep the bayonets are sharp. I didn’t witness but I’ve heard stories of honor guards accidentally dropping the rifle while on duty with the bayonet down. They aren’t allowed to make noises so there was a faint grunt as it stabbed into his foot but he kept going.

South Carolina is so far away from the Dakota's. The Carolinas are on the east coast and the Dakota's are in the northern Midwest. The distance between is like 2000 miles

The m1 grand is a rifle that says USA because well we used it alot

The Space Force was created in 1982 as the Air Force Space Command, and was just a little over a year ago converted into an independent branch of the U.S. Military.

Yes they are real weapons yes they are real bayonets. Some use an M1 Grand others use the M1903. They are usually nickel plated when it's the M1903. My friend actually has one that is nickel plated and was used for parade. I myself actually bought an m1 Grant before Springfield armory started remanufacturing them it took me most of the year the pay it off at $978.00 but because I was able to buy that before they started remanufacturing mine went up in value and giving a serial number on it it's got a good chance of actually seeing some world war II action

I think it's time for Artur to watch a video of the Marine Corps Drill Team!

Level shoulders/head while marching on parade is traditional in all US Armed Services. Probably dates back to the first drills during the Revolutionary War.

you should watch the ROTC (reserve officer training core) or JROTC (junior reserve officer training core) honor guard

you should watch the silent drill team of the u.s. marines. they do a drill called the meat grinder. where they walk thourgh swinging the rifes in between the columns of men.

You should watch something about ROTC. It's like a cadet training program for high school and college students.

Another comment, the tradition of "drill and ceremony" is directly tied to the British with an American flair. There are competitions for rifle drill at secondary (high school), University, and professional military levels. Other considerations for your viewing, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, an international annual event held in Scotland. BUT, the most impressive of any militaru drill unit is the USMC Silent Drill Platoon. Some very scary maneuvers done in total silence with incredible precision.

I am sure people have mentioned it but I thought I would just add. The M1 and M14 rifles they use are working reproductions with chromed parts, but they do not have a firing pin so they cannot be fired. The bayonets are real and they are sharp, there have been times where when throwing and catching the rifle, they would get cut. That is why it is so important for them to practice for many months in order to get the routine 100% perfect. The reason why they perform with the M1 and M14 rifles specifically is because it is made of wood and steel, which looks much better when they chrome polish all of the metal parts. On top of that, some of the moves in the drill are done best when using a rifle of that size and weight vs a modern rifle. It is all for the sake of looking good for the ceremony. I should also add that I only know half of this because my father was going to be in the Honour Guard for the US Army (He was practicing his drills months before I was born). As a matter of the fact I still have all of his uniforms in my closet since he doesn't really care about them anymore. When he retired in 2000 his rank was Staff Sergeant (Just thought I would add that for context)

What kind of camouflage is that shirt designed for?

During WW2 The Americans choice of rifle was the M1 Garand. It's the rifle that went onto the beaches of Normandy and the Pacific. The rifle that helped the USA win the war. Alot of men depended on that rifle. Not to mention the rifle is pretty heavy the bayonet is real and it's. The Navy have sabers and those are cool

Yup. 100% real weight non firing. Also these movements are just for show. These GIs train for this everyday. This takes a year at least to be selected for these units. Check out “USMC silent drill platoon” they have the best drill out of all of the branches. They don’t even use commands for their drill movement

Plain and simple the drill teams of all branches are a show. They can say it's a representation but its really about what looks cool. You have to remember the United States military is an all volunteer military. The drill teams perform in public to help recruit potential future Airman, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. The military has to get pretty creative about how to get people to sign up. Whether that be drill teams or sponsoring race cars the DOD's budget for recruitment is immense.

1:07 I SEE NFKRZ! I want Artur to make collab video with Роман. Both of them knew about the Soviet leaders. They even mention about Khrushchev doing his shoe move.

The M1 Garand was, to quote General George S. Patton, "the greatest battle implement ever devised." I would guess it is dependent on the ceremony or where it is being held but I would expect these to be fully functional rifles chambered for the 7.62x63 or .30-06 cartridge.
