Winter guard is a performance art. that means dance. military spins are done with a heavy rifle and for percision and stiffness. very few military guys are capable of tossing a six on a military syle rifle. yet they can easily toss a nine or a ten with a winter guard rifle. however. military doesn't do foreward handsprings to catch a toss, or catch in the splits. they are for two entirely different purposes. so why does it matter what his rifle weighs.

Hey ROTC guys, I have a question. If this was a video of a girl doing the same thing would you be saying (or even thinking for that matter) the thing's you've posted to this video? There's no reason to be so hateful. And all the trash talk isn't really building up a good reputation for the military or ROTC either. You don't see colorguard people posting rude things to your videos, right? Grow up a little bit.

My color guard rifle was 10 lbs! I had to use a load of tape but that was the only way to weigh it down enough so I didn't over power and over throw the girls on my squad!! So, yes, there are 10 lb rifle in color guard too!!! Military rifles are real but weight wise, color guard rifles can be JUST as heavy! Why is it that ROTC people think try are better than color guard??

@CrimsonOmen407 yeah there are two different styles of rifles spun. It depends if you are in an ROTC drill team or a Colorguard (Marching Band). The Marching band ones are lighter so they can toss 7 and 8 rotations, as well as manipulating the rifle within movement and dance work, for floor competitions. More similar to baton twirling than military I'd say.

@oside53 you should let me teach you a rifle routine from a world colorguard… lol takes more skill than you think.

@vivalabam2012 one handed double time is just like skips, but instead of two rotations per skip, its only 1 ½. so you grab under the strap, then upside down on the bolt, then strap again.

@MeggoMyWaffles i would think for a girl or guy try using a 9 pound rifle and there would be no difference based on gender because there are girls who can whoop my ass when it comes to spinning a real rifle ie. Andrea bryant
