Today’s Photo Of The Day features a KelTec KSG shotgun, which I rarely see in the wild, yet they turn up in law enforcement photos from time to time. The photos come from the French Police Nationale’s Facebook page on June 30, 2023. During late June and into July, France mobilized 45,000 police officers to combat the violent riots in cities across the country after a 17-year-old immigrant was killed during a traffic stop. During this mobilization, more than 2000 rioters were arrested over five days, and over 200 officers were injured as of the time of this writing.

Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! Today’s selection features a Honduras special operations team member as he spots a target at the sniper event during Fuerzas Comando 23 at Sierra Prieta, Dominican Republic, June 2023. Twenty-two countries competed in Fuerzas Comando (FC23), a special operations force skills competition, to earn the title of the country with the “best special operations force in the Americas” between June 12-22 in the Dominican Republic. The sniper rifle is a Barrett MRAD with a Leupold riflescope.

Photo Of The Day: TFB’s favorite shots (pun intended), served on a daily basis. We don’t think you have seen today’s selection before. Above you can see U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Matthew Grenier, a military working dog handler assigned to the 378th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, as he positions his K9 during live-fire at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 2023. The carbine is an M4. Live-fire training with dogs helps acclimatize them to the sound of gunfire and allows them to maintain maximum effectiveness in battlefield scenarios.

Photo Of The Day and we have the British Armed Forces’ new Anti-Drone Weapon Sight on display. To battle drones, there has been an initial order of 225 SMASH sights, which will be delivered to units across the British Army by the end of this year (2023).

The world is hungry for visual storytelling, and TFB’s Photo Of The Day does its best to keep the feed live. The Latvian National Defense Academy (NDA), also known as the Latvijas Nacionālā Aizsardzības akadēmija in Latvian, is an educational institution dedicated to providing military and security education and training in Latvia. It serves as the primary institution for the professional development and education of military officers, non-commissioned officers, and civilian personnel in the Latvian National Armed Forces.

The hungriest beast of them all on this blog is our Photo Of The Day. It consumes hundreds of images every month, and it has been doing so for over 9 years. Today we have U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 6, during a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) range. The location is Syndalen in Finland, a military training and camp area. The area is 1,900 hectares in size and currently around 210 hectares are used for military exercises. Finland’s Nyland brigade is the main user of the area and all major firing camps with infantry weapons are held here. Syndalen also has a harbor from which the brigade’s troop transport boats depart.

A new dawn, new possibilities and another Photo Of The Day. Above you see Segundo-tenente fuzileiro naval (Brazilian Marine Corps 2nd Lieutenant) Baluino with 1st Batalhão de Infantaria, Pelotão de Reconhecimento e Vigilância (1st Infantry Battalion, Recon Platoon) as he fires his weapon during a course of fire at the Base de Fuzileiros Navais da Ilha do Governador, Brazil, (Brazilian Marine Corps Base on the Ilha do Governador) during a scout sniper assessment on June 22, 2023.

Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! Above you see operators from the 20th Special Forces Group as they conduct an aerial assault mission during a training exercise near Chester Township, Michigan, in August 2022. The 20th Special Forces Group is a United States Army National Guard Special Forces unit. It is one of the two National Guard Special Forces groups and is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. The group’s primary mission is to provide highly trained and specialized soldiers to support U.S. national security objectives both domestically and internationally.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day features images of firearms in different configurations and from various places each day. Over the years, it’s developed into a series of articles that thousands of our readers enjoy. I really need some lever action gun in my life, and I thought this version from the  Night Vision Guys did the trick. It’s the perfect example of tradition, from the Civil War to World War I when the US was a lever-gun nation, combined with a modern, digital and thermal riflescope.

Photo Of The Day and we have some frames caught by the U.S. Marine Corps for your viewing pleasure. Above you see the workplace for U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Matthew Wier, a scout sniper with Battalion Landing Team 2/1, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, as he fires an M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System during an aerial sniper live fire exercise. How was your day compared to this?

Welcome to our Image of the Day feature! Except we call it Photo Of The Day. Here at TFB each day we showcase at least one stunning image that captures the beauty of our world of firearms. Above you see a U.S. Marine Corps fire team leader as he provides cover fire at Range 410A with his Heckler & Koch. The lower clearly says Heckler & Koch GmbH, Made in Germany. There’s also a sticker that says M38 SDMR.

A new dawn, new possibilities and another Photo Of The Day. Above you see a U.S. Marine Corps with the Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM), as he shoots off a white star parachute during exercise Intrepid Maven 23.3. These cartridges are designed for illumination and signaling. This happened in the United Arab Emirates, on May 18, 2023.

Photo Of The Day and we are looking at a Victrix Corvo V, a sniper rifle in 50 BMG with a convenient carrying handle underneath. Note that there is a spotter in front of the sniper, they blend in as one person.

Say it with a flash! TFB’s Photo Of The Day is on a mission to collect high-quality photos from the world of firearms, and what’s better than a meter-long muzzle flash? Above you see Tech. Sgt. Jason Cangemi, an armorer for the 103rd Rescue Squadron, 106th Rescue Wing as he test fires an M4 carbine during a multi-day training course at the firing range on April 9, 2015.

The Photo Of The Day can be chosen for a variety of reasons. It may be because of its aesthetic qualities, its newsworthiness, its emotional impact, or its technical excellence. Some Photo Of The Day features have a specific theme, such as nature, architecture, or portraits. Today, the single photo above was chosen as it’s like taken out of a computer game. However, we’re looking at a special forces unit member, as he fires downrange during an exercise at Melrose Air Force Range, N.M., in November of last year. Notice the blue tips on the ammunition, typically this means it’s a short-range training round.

Every day, all year around we at TFB publish at least one photo together with an explanation about what’s going on. We’ve been doing this for a very long time, almost 10 years. In today’s Photo Of The Day, we see U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 6 (CLB-6), Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, fire rifles during Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear night operations in preparation for exercise Freezing Winds 22 in Syndalen, Finland, Oct. 13, 2022.

Holt Works Photography produces some amazing photographs. Today we have just one photo of a Brownells 12.5” patrol rifle build. Feeling like building something similar, or do you live in an area where there are barrel length restrictions?

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is all about photojournalism. Robert Capa was a Hungarian–American war photographer and photojournalist. He photographed many wars and had the motto “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough”. Unfortunately, this motto lead to his death as he was fatally injured in the Indochina War. These images may not be nearly as dangerous to shoot, but there’s a lot of action going on for sure. You see members of the Ghana Armed Forces onboard a boat, while teammates secure another ship. The images are from Flintlock Exercise in Volta, Ghana, from March 11, 2023.

Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day! Today’s selection features a lot of snow and cold, and a furry beast. In terms of firearms, we have the Heckler & Koch HK416N, the SA80 in full winter camouflage and most likely an M4 carbine.

Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! It’s always a pleasure to present wonderful images like these. Above you see a competitor in the United States Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition as he engages long-distance targets at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in March 2023. As you can see his SCAR H has all the perks, making it a proper DMR rifle. Yes, I’d love one.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is from the catalog of Rock Island Auction Company’s upcoming Sporting & Collector Firearms Auction. It depicts a rotary manually operated firearm that is built with six Norinco SKS rifles. In other words, it’s an SKS Gatling gun!

The world is hungry for visual storytelling, and TFB’s Photo Of The Day does its best to keep the feed live. Above you see a U.S. Marine with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, as he aims at simulated enemy boats during a simulated strait transit part of Composite Training Unit Exercise (C2X), Atlantic Ocean, May 21, 2023.

Photo Of The Day: The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 is an interesting pistol caliber carbine from the Czech Republic. Here it can be seen with the Aimpoint Micro T-2 red dot sight and one of Silencerco‘s suppressors along with a lot of other accessories.

Photo Of The Day – above and below you see U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Mario Barletta, a team leader assigned to Scout Sniper Platoon, 1st Battalion, 23D Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, as he chambers a round at Range 205, Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, as part of Integrated Training Exercise 4-23, June 8, 2023.

Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! At The Firearm Blog, we love to discover new gear and technologies and sometimes combine them together for even better functionality. Today we have the brand new Pulsar Thermion DUO DXP50 thermal scope with a Shield RMSx reflex sight.

Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! Each day, we feature at least one stunning photograph that captures the beauty and diversity of the world of firearms. Today we have a suppressed Hera Arms 10,5″ 300 Blackout on show, and that’s it!

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is a daily blog that features images of firearms in various places. Over the years it’s developed into a series of articles that thousands of our readers enjoy. Those who know me, know my passion for firearms and sports cars, so what could be better than this Blaser R8 Ultimate Silverstone? In case you didn’t know, Silverstone is a race track in the United Kingdom. The car in the background is, of course, the Aston Martin DB5 famous from James Bond‘s Goldfinger. Mr Bond’s car came fully loaded with machine guns, tire slashers, oil jets, a rotating license plate, and an ejector seat for unwanted passengers.

Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day! Today’s selection shows Ukrainian soldiers on the shooting range, with instructors from the Norwegian Home Guard. They are shooting the Norwegian version of the Heckler & Koch HK416 (HK416N). Communication mainly takes place via an interpreter.

Photo Of The Day is here once again. Every day we present our readers with at least one photo. The subject is always a firearm of some kind, preferably with a muzzle flash or some action around it. But we’re happy with the perfectly edited still-life photo as well. Above you see a German Soldier conduct offensive operations as part of Exercise Crystal Arrow, from Camp Adazi, Latvia. Within a few years, the Heckler & Koch G36 will be history in the German Armed Forces. It’s been in service since 1997.

Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day! Today we take a look at pictures from the National Police Week at Kadena Air Base, Japan, from May 16, 2023. Above you see one of the 18th Security Forces Squadron defenders, as he fires an M18 handgun during a shooting competition.
