Get you a new M-16

 

I think I might have had one of these as a kid. You pulled the trigger and it spun something inside the toy which made the sound of rapid automatic fire. The faster you pulled the trigger the more it “fired”

It is. The camera used to take that picture was a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. (Released 2008)

It also looks like cell towers behind her.

The gun doesn’t have a mark on it. Her, and her uniform are too clean.

You're probably right, however two points: I don't think any of those were cell towers, look more like telegraph and phone cables to me (if we're looking at the same items), also it's possible that this is a "photo of a photo", as in using a modern high resolution camera to enhance details of an older photograph ...

Those are utility poles. No cell antennas anywhere.

I know I had one.

Back when you could have a toy gun w/o a  red plastic piece on the end of the barrel.

Both probably.  Someone’s got a knack for finding seriously fake pictures and spreading them.

I believe it is supposed to be a “then and now” of Finnish soldiers.

Google has educated me. I first thought it strange that the Finnish army would use a Galil. But it seems that's an likely RK62 (which I'd never heard of) on which the Galil is based. Interesting.

Not sure what the labels are suppose to mean, interesting photo.

Looks like a take off on an album cover. Tinihanna Meatpump would be a good name for a band, lol.

Sounds like a Steel Panther song title.

Female trainees of the Los Angeles Police Department practice firing their newly issued revolvers on March 6, 1948

Didn't know female cops were a thing in 1948, always thought it came much later. Wondering if this photo was mislabeled and it is something else.
