They are often used in parades, and as part of dress uniform s. Although they are descended from weapon s used in actual combat, they are not normally used as such. Their form and, especially, their finishing and decoration are typically designed to show status and power and to be an impressive sight, rather than for practicality as a weapon. Quite often, ceremonial weapons are constructed with precious metals or other materials that make them too delicate for combat use. With ceremonial swords, an example of this is that the sword may be poorly balanced. Ceremonial mace Mace s, halberd s, dagger s and sword s are the most common form of ceremonial weapons, but in theory almost any weapon can become ceremonial. Mid 20th century rifles such as the United States American M14 rifle M14 and the Russia Russian SKS , fitted with polished wood stocks, chrome plating and other decorative finishes, are common ceremonial weapons for honor guard units. Another example is the use of a firearm to signal the start of a race. Guns are also used in celebratory gunfire .
