Today in Photo Of The Day we have a customized Grand Power Stribog SR9A3 Gen2 with a strange coat of paint from Stjernelund Custom Rifles. The sight is a Holosun HS507C-X2. Furthermore, this Stribog has a TK Game Changer Pro Comp and a Kriss USA hand stop. The barrel length is 7.5″ and the safety is from an AR15.

Have you taken your vitamins today? As you know vitamins have several important functions for our bodies. Some say they are almost as important as a daily dose of TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and we agree of course. Today we have some cracking pictures from the Royal Marines (United Kingdom) during an exercise in Lithuania in 2021.

Some use reindeer and some use K9 Belgian Malinois to travel in the snow. In our Photo Of The Day, we have Norwegian Coastal Rangers conducting an air mobile operation together with the Royal Norwegian Air Force 339 Squadron. This happened during exercise Arctic Hawk in Northern Norway. Apart from the dog, you can see weapons like the Heckler & Koch HK416N and the FN Minimi.

Photo Of The Day is TFB’s place where you can unwind and just enjoy interesting pictures for a while. While the rest of this blog is stacked with new releases, information and reviews, you can just enjoy the tranquility and beautiful pictures here. We’ve been doing it since 2014 and keep on going, every day of the year. On offer today are images of the Serbian Police from the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ) and U.S. Army Green Berets as they conduct a Joint Combined Exchange Training in Goč, Serbia, June 28 – July 9, 2021. The JCET aims to improve planning, maneuvering, and crisis response for Serbian and U.S. forces in mountainous terrain.

Photo Of The Day and it’s time for a visit to New Zealand. Apart from the soldiers, the “star” here is the LMT MARS-L produced by Lewis Machine & Tool Company. Note the Monolithic Rail Platform. The rifle now serves as the standard service rifle of the New Zealand Army. It’s available in two different barrel lengths, but in 5.56mm only. MARS-L is an abbreviation for Modular Ambidextrous Rifle System – Light. Most have the Trijicon ACOG optic with an RMR red dot on top.

Over the years, TFB’s POTD has gathered thousands of interesting images from around the world. If you’re interested in a special subject, you can use our search function. For instance, if you’re looking for more photos of snipers just check here. But before you leave, check out these lovely images from International Sniper Competition 2022.

Welcome back to the Photo Of The Day! Today we visit sunny Croatia and have a look (above) at Croatian Army soldiers engaging targets from their BOV-3 armored vehicles. According to Wikipedia, the BOV-3 is an air defense version of the BOV armored vehicle with triple M55A4B1 20mm cannons. You can find more info on the Zastava M55 here. This happened during exercise Shield 22, April 9, 2022 near Pula, Croatia. Exercise Shield is an annual Croatian air defense exercise that aims at strengthening the execution of the Air Defense tasks against low and medium altitude moving targets.

Photo Of The Day here at The Firearm Blog with U.S Army Soldiers from Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve forces conducting live-fire battle drills during the 254th Regional Training Institute’s Infantry Advanced Leaders Course 22-02 on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey earlier in 2022. The “drone view” above is pretty unusual but works well in my opinion.

Photo Of The Day: TFB’s favorite shots (pun intended) served on a daily basis. Today we have various images from 3E EOS, or 3E Elektro Optik Sistemler, from Turkey. Above you can see a “boosted” Heckler & Koch HK417 with a PARS thermal sight and a DLIRIL multifunction laser device.

Photo Of The Day – established in 2014, this is TFB’s way to show carefully selected photographs on a daily basis. As a bonus, you get a short story and hopefully, you’ll learn something new. Today we have some “running and gunning” with the U.S. Marine Corps during the Marine Corps Marksmanship Championship. Personally, I find shooting on the move with a handgun one of the most fun things you can do. With a rifle, it’s so much more difficult, as your shoulder moves.

Welcome to TFB’s own Photo Of The Day. As the name implies, this page is dedicated to rare and unique pics which are updated daily. Behind the Heckler & Koch 40mm Grenade Machine Gun (GMG) we have British Army Pte. Warren from Poacher Troop waiting for a firing order. With a weight of almost 30 kilograms, the GMGs are usually mounted to a vehicle.

We have been publishing the Photo Of The Day articles for years. Our focus is on firearms, sometimes a new product, a classic or one in the hands of soldiers or sports shooters. Sometimes the pictures work just like pieces of art, and today is close and far away from another “black gun”. We have the Heckler & Koch UMP 9mm FX in training color. It’s the perfect gun for any Smurf, or if you happen to be deployed with a UMP and want to train as you fight.

The first online photograph is said to have been published by Tim Berners-Lee in 1992. It’s uncertain how many were actually able to see the image at that time, probably not that many. TFB’s Photo Of The Day is a lot more popular for sure. Here we do our best to focus on interesting high-quality images, like the “frozen” 105mm round above.

In our Photo Of The Day, we go back in time. This photo was taken on October 13, 1990, some 32 years ago. We have a collection of firearms used by the Swedish Army at the time – some are still going strong – like the Ak4 (H&K G3), Grg m/48 (Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle 84 mm), Ksp m/58 (FN MAG) all gathered around an off-road vehicle Tgb 20. The Swedish platoon soldiers in the picture all have the green Uniform m/59. Note that most of the Ak4s have bayonets mounted and that one has a riflescope (made by Hensoldt possibly, to make an Ak4 DMR version). It was around this time the new Ak5 (FN FNC) was introduced to units.

Each day a different image from the world of firearms. We call this POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, and it is our daily article series where we go to great lengths trying to find the most interesting pictures for you out there. Today we have a French Marine Commando sniper supporting Operation Barkhane in West Africa as part of the European Task Force Takuba. This multinational effort aids local forces of Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad in combating terrorist threats in the region.

This year has certainly started with a bang, and our Photo Of The Day has never been so diversified. We’ve been from Novosibirsk, driven hunts to the Japanese Jungle already. Today we have a recruiting poster from the German Special Forces unit called GSG9 (GrenzSchutzGruppe 9). You can see the H&K MP5 SD and a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver.

Photo Of The Day and we have a guard ahead of the F-35A aircraft from the Royal Norwegian Air Force at Evenes Air Base during exercise Falcon Deploy 2021. The F-35A is a single-seat, single-engine, stealth, fifth-generation, multi-role combat aircraft ordered by several NATO allies.  The Heckler & Koch HK416N has a  AG-HK416 Grenade Launcher.

There are too many photographs to keep records of, but there can never be too many good ones. Here we try to collect the best ones and share them, under our tag Photo Of The Day. Above you can see 1st Lt. Michael Singer from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), as he executes the stress shoot event at the Annual Best Ranger Competition in Fort Benning, Ga. This happened on April 9th, 2022.

Photo Of The Day: Above we have U.S. Army Staff Sgt Nathan McGowan and Staff Sgt Benjamin Holley, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 153rd Infantry Regiment, 39th Brigade, Arkansas National Guard. They are using their Remington M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle and M110 Sniper Rifle to fire at their assigned targets during the “Know Your Limits” event on Maertens Range, Fort Benning Ga. earlier in April 2022.

As usual, we have selected some pictures for you today. By this time you know it, it’s TFB’s Photo Of The Day to keep you in a good mood. Get a coffee, take a break and enjoy a few minutes with these images. Here we have U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael Dalton, National Guard Marksmanship Training Center (NGMTC) instructor, as he fires his pistol during the Combat Pistol Excellence-in-Competition match of the 50th Winston P. Wilson and the 30th Armed Forces Skill at Arms Championships. The match was hosted by the NGMTC, at the Robinson Joint Maneuver Training Center, North Little Rock, Ark. on Sept. 2021.

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 8 years with no intention of stopping. Here we have U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. John Glomba in a shooting position you don’t see too often. He’s a member of the Marine Corps Action Shooting Team from Newnan, Georgia. He’s preparing to fire during range training practice for the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competitions Championship, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia., April 5, 2022.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is a set of pictures of a special James Purdey & Sons shotgun dubbed the US Centenary Gun. This shotgun was created in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Athol Purdey’s first sales trip to the United States of America. This special Purdey gun was unveiled in January of the current year, at Dallas Safari Club Convention.

Using images to communicate news and stories has shaped the way we view the world and in our Photo Of The Day we get to see all sorts of firearms and soldiers. Here we have soldiers of Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia as they participate in the exercise CRYSTAL ARROW 2021.

Photo Of The Day: Above we have the United States Army Squad Designated Marksman Rifle M110A1 (SDMR). But take a closer look, there’s something unusual going on. If you look at the optic you’ll see it’s from Vortex rather than SIG Sauer.

The FAMAS – or “Fusil d’Assaut de la Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne” will remain in service for at least the next decade, but it is going to be phased out by the Heckler & Koch HK416F eventually. In our Photo Of The Day, we get another good look at it.

We’re always on the scout for the most interesting pictures around. Today’s Photo Of The Day is a real show-off, with pictures posted by the U.S. Special Operations Command Europe. The location is Bulgaria and we’re looking at a U.S. Army Green Beret assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group as they display their capabilities together with Bulgarian Special Forces to Herro Mustafa, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Bulgaria.

Are you a good skier? Are you a good skier and a good shooter? If not, you will find plenty of inspiration in today’s Photo Of The Day where we have pictures of German Bundeswehr soldiers skiing and shooting. I would advise you to start with a normal rifle or carbine before you start training with your machine gun.

Heckler & Koch Germany posted this wonderful and unusual picture of a submerged Heckler & Koch G36K. For obvious reasons, it’s not often that we feature pictures taken underwater in our Photo Of The Day, but respect to the photographer.

The number of internet users worldwide will soon reach the five billion mark. Great photos can spread like wildfire, but the story and the necessary context sometimes gets left behind. Not in TFB’s  Photo Of The Day, where we will always accompany the images with a background and credits to the maker – Sgt. Hannah Hawkins in this case.

Established in 2014 this is TFB’s way to show carefully selected photographs daily together with a brief story. Hopefully, you’ll learn something new and interesting. We also welcome comments in the intended section below. Above you can spot U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Christian Resendez, a scout swimmer with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, as he posts security during a small boat raid.
