POTD: M38 Designated Marksman Rifle In Action

    M38 Designated Marksman Rifle In Action

    Welcome to our Image of the Day feature! Except we call it Photo Of The Day. Here at TFB each day we showcase at least one stunning image that captures the beauty of our world of firearms. Above you see a U.S. Marine Corps fire team leader as he provides cover fire at Range 410A with his Heckler & Koch. The lower clearly says Heckler & Koch GmbH, Made in Germany. There’s also a sticker that says M38 SDMR.

    Below we can see the M32 Multi-shot Grenade Launcher in action, as U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Mitchell Turner Jr., a grenadier assigned to Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 23D Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, gives supporting fire.

    Dust and sunshine – a bad combination for visibility regardless of what kind of optics you’re using.

    Giving the 60mm mortar a go.

    As the Marine Corps Reserve’s premier annual training event, ITX provides opportunities to mobilize geographically dispersed forces for a deployment; increase combat readiness and lethality; and exercise MAGTF command and control of battalions and squadrons across the full spectrum of warfare.
