And we had this DI Chief, a 5'4" peckerwood that carried one of this swizzle stick horse wacker things and would smack you on the fingers if they weren't in the correct position for each presentation! He actually broke a guys thumb one afternoon. We didn't see him much after that.
Darn thing weighed about 18 lbs. The rifle companies, the ones that train for exhibition, use a different rifle that's a bit lighter than a stock M1 but when they affix bayonets, things get serious!
