Those rifles were brand new, they still had the price tag.

@sk76 That’s an odd image: Soldiers are in their green dress uniforms, rather than combat fatigues; and their bayonets are sheathed, but mounted to their rifles? I also think they’re wearing the plastic helmet liners, rather than the full “steel pots”?
