POTD: German Snipers with G22A2 Sniper Rifle

We have been publishing the Photo Of The Day for years. Our focus is on firearms, sometimes a new product, a classic or in the hands of soldiers or sports shooters. Sometimes the pictures work just like pieces of art, like when the night is painted in bullet traces.

POTD: Dominican Republic Special Forces

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is where you can discover the world of firearms through a camera lens. Every day we run a new theme, one of a few selected pictures together with a short story and a credit to the photographer behind the lens. Today we have soldiers from the Dominican Republic Special Forces shooting the M4 Carbine rifle at targets downrange at the shooting house in Sierra Piedras, Dominican Republic. This happened a while ago, in April 2004, during unilateral training at the Joint Task Force Tradewinds 04 Multinational Training Exercise. To my knowledge, this is the first time we have soldiers from the Dominican Republic here at The Firearm Blog. We had some Belizean Sniper in Stalking Event about two years ago, which is probably the closest we get.

Armed with skills, cameras and sometimes a fair bit of editing here is where their hard work ends up. Most Hera Arms stocks have been mounted on AR15s, but today we have an Avtomat Kalashnikova with the HERA Arms CQR Ak Stock. What do you think about it?

POTD: The Finnish Pori Brigade in Exercise

Over a century ago there was a growing number of magazines published throughout the world. There was an increased demand for photographic illustrations for the magazines to be competitive. With time, the cameras developed and became lighter, cheaper and easier to use. We all know that was only the beginning, as lenses, motor drives, electronic flash and things like auto-focus developed in the 1960s and into the digital era, with all its potential. Just imagine what the Internet has done to things like deadlines for a photographer. No more time wasted in a dark room full of chemicals. Today TFB’s Photo Of The Day goes to Finland for some action with Finnish “RK” rifles.
