The Norwegian Royal Guard
The Norwegian Royal Guard This is "River Dance" with boots and rifles!
I can't remember ever seeing a display of precision to beat this!!
All the precision drill is being performed on ICE!!
Those are U.S. made Garand M-1 rifles (WWII), and they are heavy weapons
(9 POUNDS EACH) and with bayonets fixed, yet.
When that one fellow goes on his own - YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A RIFLE SPUN THAT FAST!
