A machine gunner with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, aims down-range to fire his M240B medium machine gun at unknown distance targets July 9, 2015, aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C. Machine gunners with Fox Co. participated in the training to practice estimating the ranges of targets. Every fourth shot, a tracer round was fired off, to light up the trajectory of the bullet and show the gunner if he is hitting his target. By practicing in range estimation, the machine gunners will be better equipped to act quickly and accurately in real combat scenarios. Marines with Fox Co. completed the training as preparation for their upcoming assignment to the Unit Deployment Program.
