Chuong: The M1 Garand; the rifle that changed everything in WW2. No wonder why it's the universal ceremonial rifle.

Alpha: Comes in traditional form, and tactical form. The later is used as a ceremonial rifle in Denmark because it's much lighter and convenient but still works and fires the same way as its traditional form. It also utilizes the 7.62 NATO round, a common sniper round for the world today.

Chuong: Vietnam used to use the SKS rifle as a ceremonial rifle because the Soviet Union supplied us that weapon at the time but today, under Luong's orders, we replaced the SKS with the M1 Garand mainly because the rounds for the SKS rifle, the 7.62 Russian or AK rounds, is being phased out due to it having poor accuracy when compared to the 7.62 NATO. Ever since Leonid was elected President of Russia, the countries that once used the SKS rifles as ceremonial rifles replaced them with the M1 Garand rifles instead.

Captain Cosmo: Leonid is very open to western arms that he is willing to try the M1 Garands as ceremonial rifles. The SKS was never a bad rifle at all. The 7.62 Russian rounds was supposed to be a universal rifle round for our military during the Soviet Union but learned that such an idea would not work in today's battlefield. Certain tasks require certain weapons that uses certain rounds.

Marshall: The M1 Garand had made its way to the Irish Republican Army when they were first formed and it is an incredibly popular weapon with them to this day. That weapon, like the AKM, is everywhere on Earth, meaning enemies have them and even make copies of them. Yet, our enemies tend to avoid using the M1 Garand in battle as they see them as "pointless" in their objectives.

Leo: I do remember Leonid telling me about wanting to learn more about how we Americans use the M1 Garand for ceremonies. The one I own for myself, I should point out, is a traditional form of the rifle.

Super C: That would have been my next question.
