#PhotoOfTheDay

Welcome to another edition of TFB’s Photo Of The Day! By now we suppose that most of our readers are familiar with TFB’s concept of daily images in combination with an explanation of what’s going on, and with what.

Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the Szép M1. To my knowledge, it’s the first time we have this rifle in any of our POTDs. The Szép is used by the Hungarian Army in caliber 7.62x51mm NATO.

Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the Beretta ARX160 in action. Here it can be seen aboard the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) during a visit, board, search and seizure drill in the Philippine Sea, 2024. The Beretta ARX160 was developed for the Italian Armed Forces as part of the "Soldato Futuro" project and was launched in 2008. Fast forward to 2024, and it still looks modern.

Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the MG3, made by Rheinmetall, in anti-aircraft training. Note the ammunition, which looks like it’s partly made out of plastic. The MG3 is a belt-fed machine gun developed in Germany, derived from the WWII-era MG42. It’s known for its high rate of fire (up to 1,200 rounds per minute) and reliability and comes chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. The MG3 is widely used for infantry, vehicle-mounted, and anti-aircraft roles, remaining a staple in many armed forces globally.

If your last try at learning the Italian language and culture failed, there’s some hope in this Photo Of The Day, where we admire the latest creation from SK Customs. This gun is a tribute to the works of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, generally known as Raphael.
