What did the Germans think of the M1 Garand rifle during World War 2?
I believe from the accounts i have read, they respected the rifle greatly, while the average landser (German foot soldier) was armed with a 5 rd, bolt action rifle, dating back to the trenches of ww1, the American soldier had a 8 round, semi-automatic rifle that could lay down effective suppressive and accurate fire. if you want to see it for yourself, attend a ww2 re-enactment/ public battle. you can see the difference for yourself.

What shoulder should rifle rest on when marching in us color guard?
The manual of arms for color guards armed with rifles must be synchronized so that the rifles move (e.g., off of or to the shoulder) at the same time. Since the left rifleman is at left shoulder arms and the right rifleman is at right shoulder arms, moving to and from the right/left shoulder to the order, present or back the shoulder often involves different "counts" in the movement for each rifleman. To get the rifles moving together one or the other of the riflemen will have to do an occasional pause in the manual of arms so the other rifleman may catch up. When executing the rifle manual, both riflemen will wait for the senior color bearer's command of "Ready, CUT" before executing the final count of the movement.
