#SpecialForcesWeaponsCourse

Photo Of The Day and we take a closer look at a rainbow of empty shells of 9×19 mm Parabellum flying out of an old MP 40 submachine gun (short for Maschinenpistole 40). The MP40 was only made as fully automatic, and fires from an open-bolt, with blowback-operation.

The question is does the Heckler & Koch MP5 SD really go Pew Pew Pew, or what sound does it make if we have to type it down? Perhaps Phopp, phopp, phopp is a better description? For sure it is going to be quite a hush sound compared to the normal MP5 s below.

Shotguns – one of the most powerful hand-held firearms civilians are allowed to own. Often underestimated, as it can be used in so many ways by just changing the ammunition: birdshot, buckshot or slugs and other variants.

Photo Of The Day – We are back in what may be one of the most popular classes. Unfortunately, most people cannot take it, but at least we’re able to enjoy this picture. I think you share my view that we need more Uzi content, and here we see it on full-auto on the Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Course.

100% sure – Would not skip class. In today’s  Photo Of The Day we’re looking at the Carl Gustav M/45, also called the Swedish K Gun. Kulsprutepistol m/45 (abbreviated Kpist m/45), which can be translated to something like bullet spraying pistol. A pretty accurate name, in fact.

No prior knowledge of the Russian language to take this class.  Photo Of The Day, and we’re back to the Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Course with the focus on various versions of the rifles designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov.

At TFB we’re devoted to finding the best and most interesting firearms-related photos together with a short story. You’ll find these photos here, and what could be better than a Heckler & Koch MP5K going fully automatic?

Today the photographer really nailed it! We’re looking at a Thompson M1A1 submachine gun as Special Forces students assigned to the U. S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School take a class in the open air. It looks like the student above wears a 1st Marine Division patch.
