Photo Of The Day – Today we have some very rare firearms on display and in use as these American soldiers train to employ, maintain and engage targets.

The selection consists of a mixture of U.S. and foreign pistols, rifles, shotguns, submachine and machine guns, grenade launchers and mortars.

For instance, have you ever seen a Daewoo K1A rifle (5.56x45mm) in action? This carbine is from South Korea.

Below: It works better with either iron sights or optics, but the student who fires this German HK 416 on fully automatic seems to be enjoying his class regardless. The aim looks a little high.

German Heckler & Koch G3.

Below: A suppressed FN SCAR 17. It works better if you use the boot stock in an extended position.
