    Looking for the best firearms-related pictures around? You’re likely to find them here on TFB, and today we have a look at what’s going on in New Zealand and their Army. Fire and rain, as a soldier from the 2nd/1st Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment fires a Glock G17 Gen 4. This happened during their annual shooting competition at the West Melton Rifle Range.

    Run fast, shoot straight.

    2nd/1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment have been undertaking their annual shooting competition at the West Melton Rifle Range. The winners will compete in the New Zealand Army Shooting Competition (NZASC) 2019.

    These types of activities based around core skills help keep our soldiers well-trained to operate in environments within NZ and overseas – plus a little healthy competition can’t be a bad thing.
