POTD: M1 Garand During Friendship Shoot
Here’s a U.S. soldier’s reaction after firing an M1 Garand during the Friendship Shoot that concluded the 2024 European Best Sniper Team Competition. The location is the Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) in Hohenfels, Germany. The European Best Sniper Team Competition is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa led, JMRC-hosted annual event testing the marksmanship, physical prowess, and technical expertise of sniper teams across Europe. During the 2024 event, 35 teams from 19 NATO Allies and Partner countries competed to become the best European sniper team.
There were quite a few more modern sniper rifles around as well, like the one below.
