    A man wearing a tactical plate carrier vest, safety glasses, and foam ear protection is firing a semi-automatic pistol using a two-handed grip. He is positioned beside a black Jeep vehicle, which appears to be used as a shooting platform or cover. A spent brass casing is visible in the air near the firearm, indicating the weapon has just been discharged.
    Two individuals are engaged in what appears to be a firearms training exercise at an outdoor range.
