POTD: Republic of Korea Marine Corps

    Republic of Korea Marine Corps

    TFB’s Photo Of The Day has become an impressive gallery, with an ever-growing number of images of firearms in all sorts of environments. Today we have a Marine with the Republic of Korea Marine Corps (above) as he posts security during an amphibious raid. The photo was taken during the exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2022, the world’s largest international maritime exercise. I think the rifle is a Daewoo Precision Industries K1, but feel free to correct me in the comments section.

    Below: U.S. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, 1st Marine Division, grab equipment from an MRZR Diesel.

    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Sawyer A. Fields, rifleman, 3D Battalion, 4th Marines, 1st Marine Division, yells during the amphibious raid.
