Meravigliosamente! In our Photo Of The Day, we have a wonderful flash from an Italian SCP70 rifle. The soldiers are Italians of the 183rd Airborne Regiment, and they’re using their SCP70 rifles to fire blanks at enemy combatants during a decisive action training environment exercise. The images were taken a while ago, during Saber Junction 2012, at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany.
