A spent casing is visible in the air near the firearm.
    A silhouetted figure is aiming a handgun toward shooting targets mounted on a frame, with a second silhouetted figure observing nearby. The scene appears to take place on the deck of a naval vessel at dusk or dawn, with open ocean visible in the background. The low-light conditions create strong silhouettes against a gradient sky.
    A nighttime firearms qualification exercise taking place on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. A silhouetted shooter is firing a pistol toward illuminated paper targets arranged in a row along a safety barrier. The long-exposure photograph captures the muzzle flash and bullet trajectory streaks in the dark environment.
    A long-exposure night photograph taken from the deck of a large naval vessel at sea, capturing circular star trails in the sky indicating extended exposure time. The ship's superstructure is illuminated in red light, consistent with naval night-vision preservation protocols. The calm ocean horizon is visible to the left, with the ship's wake faintly discernible.
