rifle drills
Ceremonial weapon practice
Rifle drills are choreographed routines in which members of a group—typically military units, ROTC cadets, or color guards—execute precise movements with rifles, often including spinning, tossing, and synchronized maneuvers.
The rifles may be functional weapons or ceremonial props.
