Turned this one up and was surprised I hadn't seen it over the years. I'm familiar with him shooting a mannlicher-stocked rifle into the air at the parade, but this one wasn't in my album of 98/29's in use, figured I'd share.

Curious as to why he has a Persian rifle. Iraq bought a bunch of Yugo M48BOs in the 50s. Some even got stamped with the cipher of the Iraqi kingdom prior to the overthrow of the monarchy.
