    Two military personnel in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are positioned on what appears to be a naval vessel deck, operating a heavy machine gun. One service member is in a prone/kneeling firing position while the other appears to be assisting or instructing. Spent brass casings and weapon components are scattered on the deck surface around them.
    Several military personnel in camouflage uniforms are positioned on the deck of a naval vessel, firing a weapon over the side railing toward open water. A visible plume of smoke or muzzle blast is seen near the barrel of the weapon being discharged. The scene appears to be a live-fire training exercise conducted at sea.
    A young man wearing safety goggles and blue nitrile gloves is working on what appears to be a firearm, likely performing cleaning or maintenance. He is dressed in a red sweatshirt and is seated at a workbench in what appears to be an industrial or military workspace. The environment includes overhead piping, paperwork on walls, and various tools on the work surface.
    A person wearing blue nitrile gloves is handling a disassembled semi-automatic pistol, applying what appears to be a tool or brush to the firearm's components. The setting appears to be a workbench environment, consistent with firearm maintenance, forensic examination, or evidence processing. Various tools and containers are visible in the background.
    A technician wearing blue latex gloves and a face shield is examining or cleaning a disassembled firearm on a work surface. The workspace contains gun components, cleaning tools, and a landline telephone, suggesting a professional firearms maintenance or forensic examination setting. A second person is visible in the background taking notes.
    A person wearing blue latex gloves is holding a transparent object, likely a petri dish or glass slide, up close to their face and examining it carefully. The subject is wearing a red shirt and appears to be in a laboratory or workshop setting. The focus is on the gloved hands and the object being inspected, with the face slightly out of focus.
    A person wearing blue latex gloves is cleaning or restoring a disassembled firearm on a blue work surface. The firearm appears to be a pistol or submachine gun with its slide or receiver separated, being worked on with cloths or cleaning patches. The workspace contains various tools, papers, and cleaning materials consistent with a gunsmithing or conservation environment.
