One of the purposes of TFB’s Photo Of The Day is to broaden the audience for the excellent work done by professionals from combat photography to still and action photography of firearms. A perfect picture may take everything between a split second to months of planning, and it would be sad to see that kind of work go unnoticed. Above you see a Spanish mentor for the Cabo Verde Armed Forces, as he leads weapons training during the exercise Flintlock in Volta, Ghana, 2023. The G36E is painted to blend in.

Below you see another G36E which looks like it was taken out of the delivery box just minutes ago.
