I have 6 nieces....who shoot with me....who love Barbie....Xmas is going to be easy

[Zen21Tao]

The caption says she's reloading her pink "Ruger 10/22" but that definitely looks more like an M1 Garand. Am I wrong?

[Freddymac]

That does look like a Garand

[Offwhite]

She's definetly been seeing GI Joe behind, that fruit, Ken's back. I knew deep down Barbie was a real American girl...

And now you know & knowing is half the battle.

[eerw]

Its a M1 from GI Joe..

edit to add: read further on down..listing of accessories..

[aguyindallas]

My question is this:

How long did it take for Barbie to learn what "M1 Thumb" was?

[Barbara]

Hey! That's not funny. I'm really careful!!

:D

[armoredman]

There's something about a woman with a Garand...:cool:

[Barbara]

I need to work at it a bit. Darn thing gets heavy after a few shots, but I'm getting better. I love those things.

[648E]

The same type of fool who think women serve in infantry units think a M1 turns into a 10/22 when you make it GI Joe sized and paint it pink.

[massad ayoob]

...Still not as cool as "Thunder Ranch Barbie"...

The alternative to a free armed American Barbie:

Just explained 'Garand Thumb ' to the wife , she said 'Who in the hell makes aweapon like that ?' and 'No thanks I'll stick to the AR15'

Barbara,
Try tucking your upper left arm right against your body and then cantalever your left forearm out to support the rifle.
Let the stock then rest on your finger tips, or open palm depending on reach.


It may take some practice but it will allow your body to support the weight, not your shoulder muscles.

[Missashot]

Cool!
I wonder if my daughter would like one of those for her Christmas? She is only 16 months old, so I would hope that the gun and Barbie are both waterproof since everything around my girl gets drooled on!:uhoh:
Might be cute for her to have later.:p
I wish that there was that sort of stuff when I was young. But all I had was Barbie driving around in that silly pink corvette and pink jeep!:neener:

Barbie visiting the hood.

Barbara

that picture of you is great you totally out do the AR guy in the tactical vest beind you. Its great to see women shooting, my fiancee shoot quite a bit but he hasn't gotten any of her freinds into shooting.

that pink m1 would go well with the purple BAR I saw once. Give em lead BARBIE!!!

Brother in Arms

[Barbara]

Yep, gotcha on the arm..and using the sling I don't think I was even shooting then..was just looking through the sites.

We don't need no stinkin' Barbies

We have our own Barbara with a M1 !

We have a lot of own real life ladies with guns of various ages here on THR as well.

Barbara needs to be Photographed by Oleg, not only does she "deeds not words" she is photogenic.

Barbara, I might suggest that you raise your right arm a little also to better capture the butt in your shoulder. Something like this.

[Barbara]

Oh, for pete's sakes. Never mind.

[Eleven Mike]

Hey, let's all correct Barbara's form! Those girls all need our help you know. I know it's over-used, but :rolleyes:

[M2 Carbine]

Sorry.
Didn't mean to make anyone mad.

Just thought that a tip from someone that started shooting the M1 Garand in 1956 might be appreciated. I'll just keep it to myself next time.:(
