    A military or naval personnel member wearing a helmet and blue uniform is firing a machine gun from the side of a vessel over open water. A spent brass casing is visibly ejecting from the weapon mid-fire, with muzzle smoke and a red target float visible in the water downrange. This appears to be a live-fire training exercise conducted at sea.
