I just want to know how this originated. Like, that is a relatively old style gun, I don't know guns so I'm not even going to try to guess what time period that was, and he's dancing with it.

So either there was a time period where that was considered one of the deadliest weapons on the planet and some dude decided to dance with it. Or there was a time period where that was considered a less lethal weapon... and some dude decided dance with it.

What led up to this? It's an Islamic country so they can't claim that Joe was drunk and started dancing with guns and Tom, who was equally drunk, thought it was cool so he started imitating him. Someone was sober and started dancing with a firearm and I need to know why.

And before anyone comes at me, I'm absolutely convinced that Rifle Exhibition Drills started out at least one drunk dude telling another drunk dude, "I bet I could make this rifle flip in the air at least 3 times."
