The hungriest beast of them all on this blog is our Photo Of The Day. It consumes hundreds of images every month, and it has been doing so for over 8 years with no intention of stopping. Here we have U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. John Glomba in a shooting position you don’t see too often. He’s a member of the Marine Corps Action Shooting Team from Newnan, Georgia. He’s preparing to fire during range training practice for the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competitions Championship, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia., April 5, 2022.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is a set of pictures of a special James Purdey & Sons shotgun dubbed the US Centenary Gun. This shotgun was created in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Athol Purdey’s first sales trip to the United States of America. This special Purdey gun was unveiled in January of the current year, at Dallas Safari Club Convention.

Using images to communicate news and stories has shaped the way we view the world and in our Photo Of The Day we get to see all sorts of firearms and soldiers. Here we have soldiers of Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia as they participate in the exercise CRYSTAL ARROW 2021.

Photo Of The Day: Above we have the United States Army Squad Designated Marksman Rifle M110A1 (SDMR). But take a closer look, there’s something unusual going on. If you look at the optic you’ll see it’s from Vortex rather than SIG Sauer.

The FAMAS – or “Fusil d’Assaut de la Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne” will remain in service for at least the next decade, but it is going to be phased out by the Heckler & Koch HK416F eventually. In our Photo Of The Day, we get another good look at it.

We’re always on the scout for the most interesting pictures around. Today’s Photo Of The Day is a real show-off, with pictures posted by the U.S. Special Operations Command Europe. The location is Bulgaria and we’re looking at a U.S. Army Green Beret assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group as they display their capabilities together with Bulgarian Special Forces to Herro Mustafa, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Bulgaria.

Are you a good skier? Are you a good skier and a good shooter? If not, you will find plenty of inspiration in today’s Photo Of The Day where we have pictures of German Bundeswehr soldiers skiing and shooting. I would advise you to start with a normal rifle or carbine before you start training with your machine gun.

Heckler & Koch Germany posted this wonderful and unusual picture of a submerged Heckler & Koch G36K. For obvious reasons, it’s not often that we feature pictures taken underwater in our Photo Of The Day, but respect to the photographer.

The number of internet users worldwide will soon reach the five billion mark. Great photos can spread like wildfire, but the story and the necessary context sometimes gets left behind. Not in TFB’s  Photo Of The Day, where we will always accompany the images with a background and credits to the maker – Sgt. Hannah Hawkins in this case.

Established in 2014 this is TFB’s way to show carefully selected photographs daily together with a brief story. Hopefully, you’ll learn something new and interesting. We also welcome comments in the intended section below. Above you can spot U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Christian Resendez, a scout swimmer with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, as he posts security during a small boat raid.

We have been publishing the Photo Of The Day for years. Our focus is on firearms, sometimes a new product, a classic or in the hands of soldiers or sports shooters. Sometimes the pictures work just like pieces of art, like when the night is painted in bullet traces.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is where you can discover the world of firearms through a camera lens. Every day we run a new theme, one of a few selected pictures together with a short story and a credit to the photographer behind the lens. Today we have soldiers from the Dominican Republic Special Forces shooting the M4 Carbine rifle at targets downrange at the shooting house in Sierra Piedras, Dominican Republic. This happened a while ago, in April 2004, during unilateral training at the Joint Task Force Tradewinds 04 Multinational Training Exercise. To my knowledge, this is the first time we have soldiers from the Dominican Republic here at The Firearm Blog. We had some Belizean Sniper in Stalking Event about two years ago, which is probably the closest we get.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is a daily article series that features images of firearms in various places. Over the years, it’s developed into a series of articles that thousands of our readers enjoy. Today the subject is carrying a 1911. According to Springfield Armory, the Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) is the smallest 1911 in the world.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day tries to push the excellent work done by so many photographers around the world and in the firearms industry. It’s a celebration to those who go in harm’s way trying to catch those special moments for us, but also those who stay in the studio working out the perfect lighting and setting hour after hour. Armed with skills, cameras and sometimes a fair bit of editing here is where their hard work ends up. Most Hera Arms stocks have been mounted on AR15s, but today we have an Avtomat Kalashnikova with the HERA Arms CQR Ak Stock. What do you think about it?

Photo Of The Day: Above we see Spc. Jacob Mink, a scout sniper assigned to 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 1-149th, Infantry Battalion, Task Force Red Dragon, Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, as he provides security during Exercise WAKRI 22 near Ali Sabieh, Djibouti. He’s using the M110A1 Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS), which is a development from Heckler & Koch’s HK417 in 7.62×51 mm. Note the optics from SIG Sauer and the tape covering the suppressor, probably to avoid sand and dust getting into the system. The suppressor cover is from Armageddon Gear.

The FN F2000 is the standard issue rifle for the Slovenian Armed Forces. The Slovenians have bought a total of 14,000 rifles and their version of the rifle is called the FN F2000S. Since FN Herstal has now stopped the production of this model this seems like both the first and the last large-scale adoption of this rifle by a European and NATO member country.

The goal of TFB’s Photo Of The Day is to give your eyes something worth watching, and your brain something to think about every day. Over the years we have shown firearms from North to South, East to West in almost any imaginable situation and climate. Today we’re going to tempt you with some interesting rimfire builds from a recent 22LR Precision Rifle competition. Rimfire offers great training for the real thing, and if you haven’t tried it yet you should!

TFB has been running our very special Photo Of The Day for years, sharing great photos from around the world and the world of firearms. Sometimes there is a special story behind the pictures, and sometimes – like today – we just run a bunch of super cool images for no special reason. This is like a stock car race with Russian main battle tanks and other military vehicles.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is where you can discover the world of firearms through a camera lens. Every day we run a new theme, selected pictures, a short story and credit to the person behind the lens. Today we have some HOT images of French snipers and spotters from the 35e régiment d’infanterie.

Photo Of The Day is TFB’s place where you can unwind and just enjoy interesting pictures for a while. While the rest of this blog is stacked with new releases, information and reviews, you can just enjoy the tranquility and beautiful pictures here. We’ve been doing it since 2014 and keep on going, every day of the year. The pictures today are from a firearms demonstration at FLETC firearms range, Cheltenham, Maryland (USA), conducted back in 2014. Above you can see Del Wilber, Bloomberg News, as he fires a shotgun with the assistance of ATF firearms instructor Special Agent Mike Hodnett. That’s a pretty nice flash!

Have you taken your vitamins today? As you know vitamins have several important functions for your body. Some say they are almost as important as a daily dose of TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and we agree of course. So here’s another dose of important pictures, but instead of magnesium, iron, calcium and Omega 3, there’s more lead, brass and gunpowder involved here.

Welcome back for another run of our Photo Of The Day. We’re always on the lookout for the best firearms-related images out there, with the goal to give your eyes something worth watching every day. Today we have a suppressed AS Val and some other photos from the Indra 2018 exercise between India and Russia. The sight on the AS Val seems to be mounted extremely high.

Our Photo Of The Day articles bring together some of the most eye-catching and visually appealing images. You won’t find a lot of pictures of sunsets, flowers or tourist landmarks here, instead, the photo selection spans from soldiering, firearms, special units, snipers and the odd knife or two. Today we have a picture taken from the HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen (from the Royal Norwegian Navy) of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group as they are passing through the Strait of Gibraltar.

One of the goals of TFB’s Photo Of The Day is to share treasures from the world of firearms while giving credits to the photographer. Above you see U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Alex Story with Force Reconnaissance Platoon, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), as he patrols through the jungle on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan. This happened at the end of January 2022.

Over the years, TFB’s POTD has gathered thousands of interesting images from around the world. If you’re interested in a special subject, you can use our search function. For instance, if you’re looking for photos of snipers just check here. Certain military units and countries can also be searched and found: the Green Berets can be found here and the U.S. Marines here. If you’re obsessed with the Kriss Vector, there are loads of images here (but never admit you are!). Today we have a set of pictures from the German Army.

Over a century ago there was a growing number of magazines published throughout the world. There was an increased demand for photographic illustrations for the magazines to be competitive. With time, the cameras developed and became lighter, cheaper and easier to use. We all know that was only the beginning, as lenses, motor drives, electronic flash and things like auto-focus developed in the 1960s and into the digital era, with all its potential. Just imagine what the Internet has done to things like deadlines for a photographer. No more time wasted in a dark room full of chemicals. Today TFB’s Photo Of The Day goes to Finland for some action with Finnish “RK” rifles.

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’re going to add a few more, on the subject of CRYSTAL ARROW. This is the biggest tactical exercise of its kind involving NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia and allies from U.S. Army Europe and Africa and Mechanized Brigade.

Each month Buck Knives releases a limited edition custom version of one of their knives dedicated to that month and dubbed Buck Of The Month. The March 2022 Buck Of The Month is a custom Model 117 Brahma which is the subject of today’s Photo Of The Day.

Welcome back to the Photo Of The Day, TFB’s daily article series dedicated to showing some of the best pictures of the gun world. Today we are taking a look at another masterpiece from Cabot Guns – the Cabot Atlantis set of 1911 pistols. This pair of .45 ACP pistols is made in a single sample (sold out at the time of writing) and like other Cabot pistols, it is an amazing work of art – from the design concept to execution and even storage solution.
