In this Picture Of The Day, we are looking at something as odd as U.S. Reserve Soldiers shooting a Swiss B&T APC9 in Italy.

This happened as they represented the USA in the Lombardia Commando Raid competition.

The Lombardia is a multi-national Italian Army Reserve-led military patrol competition that runs for three days every year. It is a military competition reserved to military people, active or reserve.
