Recently we had a look at the Kalashnikov AKV-521 carbine with interchangeable uppers. In this Photo Of The Day, the time has come for the version chambered in .366 TKM, aimed at the Russian civilian market. The .366 TKM is a redesigned 7.62×39 cartridge that has been necked up to accommodate a 9,55 mm “slug” and cut to 37 mm (9.55x37mm). The caliber is said to be accurate up to around 100-150 meters.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is where you can discover the World of firearms through the camera lens. Every day we run a new theme, a few selected pictures, and a short story and credit to the person behind the lens. Today we’re looking at some photos from 2013, from when the Norwegian Defense decided to establish a Special Forces unit only consisting of females. At the time, 2000 females were invited to apply to the unit. It was reported then to be the world’s first all-female special forces unit. The unit is called Jegertroppen (translated: Hunter Troop) and you can find their recruiting homepage here.

Some say the new Uzi Pro is boring but in this edition of TFB’s Photo Of The Day, we’ll prove you wrong. In our previous “basic-Uzi” article we promised more and here you’ll find it with some very interesting parts added, like the SilencerCo Omega 9k suppressor, the Aimpoint T2 red dot, and the Inforce Wild 2 light.

We visit Freundeskreis Panzerlehrbrigade 9 in Germany in our Photo Of The Day. Above you can spot a Rheinmetall MG 3 machine gun and a Heckler & Koch G36 rifle. While a machine gun may be noisy, it’s nothing compared to the 30 mm automatic cannon on the Puma IFV below.

There’s a lot of action going on in today’s Photo Of The Day. We have a bunch of  U.S. Marines with the 3d Battalion, 3d Marines, using a variety of weapons systems in order to seize an enemy position. This happened during a live-fire combat rehearsal called Fuji Viper 21.3 at the Combined Arms Training Center, Camp Fuji, Japan, in mid-April 2021.

In today’s Photo Of The Day, we’re going to look closer at the U.S. Army Best Sniper Competition. Sniper Teams from across the United States traveled to Fort Benning, Georgia, to compete in the U.S. Army Best Sniper Competition. This happened in mid-April 2021.

Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day. As the name implies, this page is dedicated to rare and unique pics which are updated daily, and I guess that short shotgun got your attention? Did you ever fire one? What did you think? Did you find it hard or easy to hit your target? These pictures are from an undisclosed location in Djibouti, where members of the 82nd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron conducted proficiency training across multiple weapon systems earlier this year.

Photo Of The Day and we go back in history a few years. We’re looking at Syrian Democratic Forces soldiers providing security during a simulated patrol mission in the Deir ez-Zor province, in Syria, 2018. As you can see in the following pictures, they’re all equipped with various Kalashnikovs.

The HK416 A7 is still not up on the HK website, I can only find the A5 version. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. For those who have been around TFB for a few years, may remember that we reported about it back in 2017 in “ HK416 A7 to be called G95 by the German Special Forces” article. We also had our hands on it at the Heckler & Koch booth at EnforceTac 2018. I assume I’m not the only one longing for the next trade show?

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) can best be described as a mixture between long-range and precision rifle shooting and practical shooting. TFB recently reported about the plans for a Precision Rifle World Championships in 2022, and hopefully, it will happen.

Nothing to do? Each day you are welcome to TFB’s selection of photo highlights. We call this Photo Of The Day and above we see a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist assigned to the 369th Chemical Company, 455th Chemical Brigade, 76th Operational Response Command. He’s firing at pop-up targets with his M4 service rifle at a range on Camp Williams, Utah.

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’re looking at a Kriegsgewehr. Or is it a Sportsgewehr?

In Vlad’s article from the beginning of this year titled  “AK 2.0 – Finnish Upgrade Kit for Kalashnikov Rifles by Value Manufacturing”, we got a good introduction to Value Manufacturing. In this Photo Of The Day, we take a closer look at what the upgrades look like. Please note that this is just a photo-based article for your leisure, without pricing. However, you can find links and more details below to take you further.

Photo Of The Day and we have some Modern Swedish Vikings in the bayou around the Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi (United States). This is a NAVY partnership between the countries, and they are in fact a Swedish special boat unit training on the location.

Kalashnikov Group posted some interesting photos on Facebook, which will be the subject for today’s Photo Of The Day. For details on the background of this new rifle please check  Hrachya’s article “ Kalashnikov Concern Shows The Prototype of Upcoming 500-Series AKs – The AKV-521 Rifle“.

Photo Of The Day: We take a look at the saluting guns on Victory Green, Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands Defence Force (FIDF) is a Volunteer Military Unit established already in 1892. The FIDF works together with military units from the United Kingdom in the defense of the islands.

Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ) has started a monthly series of social media posts called History Monday where they will be sharing pictures and stories of some of the most interesting and rare specimens of their firearms. For this month, in the first edition of History Monday, they published pictures of the very first CZ 75 pistol, the serial number 00001.

Photo Of The Day: Above you can see some left-handed shooting with the UKM 2020 machine gun. As Poland changed teams and joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in 1999, the challenge to adapt their firearms to common NATO ammunition arose. The PKM machine gun was already being produced in Poland under licence, but it needed a serious redesign to be able to accept the new ammunition (7.62x51mm NATO) as well as the links and belt that hold them.

I guess the opposite of sniping is machine gunning from an unsteady platform? Well, here we are on board an MH-60S Knighthawk behind a fully-loaded GAU-21 and I assume that anyone on the dangerous side of it dare to call it inaccurate.

Below: Running to the shooting range during a stress shoot.

The location in this Photo Of The Day is Poland where we take a peek at the U.S. Army 2nd Cavalry Troops as they offer support by fire during an evaluation exercise at Bemowo Piskie Training Area in November last year. The 2nd Cavalry is a vital part of the enhanced forward presence Battle Group’s mission to defend against any potential threat in the region.

I have lived a few years in France, but unfortunately, my French is too weak (without red wine) to make professional translations. My understanding is that this is a memorial from the First World War and that the soldiers are paying their respects to the people and soldiers who did not make it. They have not forgotten.

Photo Of The Day – The word photograph is a combination of Greek words and means “drawing with light”. The word was invented by Sir John Herschel, over 180 years ago. When I think of “drawing with light” I’m more thinking of myself with a Minigun, shooting tracers into the darkness of a desert. Or why not with HK’s SP5?

Photo Of The Day and we take a look at a bunch of thermal clip-ons and a thermal sight that were released recently. Above: Closest to the camera is the Pulsar Proton FXQ30, then the Krypton FXG50 and a Thermion 2 mounted on a Blaser R8 in .308 Win.

We can see Cpl. Anthony Skon as he closes his eyes and braces himself against the weight of a Marine climbing over him to scale a wall during the endurance course at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa. The U.S. Marines ran in 12-man squads over roughly five miles of Okinawa jungle and through 30 obstacles in JWTC’s culminating event, which helps to build upon what the Marines learned through the previous week of jungle warfare training.

Bonjour et bienvenue, or welcome to our place! This is the  Photo Of The Day by The Firearm Blog, a daily article series running since 2014. To our knowledge, this is the most well-known place on the Internet for photos of firearms.

Shooting at distant targets while it’s snowing is a challenge.
