stack arms
Pyramid the rifles
Stack arms is a military command directing soldiers to arrange their rifles in a conical formation, muzzles together and butts spread apart, creating a stable pyramid that keeps weapons off the ground.
The resulting structure is an arms stack or simply a stack.
The sergeant ordered the platoon to stack arms before the inspection.
