Canadian Army Holds Polite Rifle Speed Drill Challenge

by Chris Eger March 21, 2019

Over the past several weeks, soldiers of the Canadian Army have been talking smack and posting videos on just how fast they can field strip their C7 rifles. The gun, a variant of the M16A3 made by Colt Canada, is the country’s primary infantry rifle.

In early February, a soldier of the Canadian Grenadier Guards threw the gauntlet down with a 47-second run, but many pointed out she didn’t do a function check and put the optic on backward at first.

Les membres du CGG peuvent assembler une C7 en 47sec. Si votre régiment ne répond pas à ce défi, vous acceptez qu'ils sont les meilleurs. The Canadian Grenadier Guards is better than your unit at assembling a C7, make us change our mind.

Then, a corporal of The Brockville Rifles came in at 42 seconds.

This soldier from the 34th Combat Engineers Regiment seems to be pretty fast with a time of just under 34 seconds.
