    A close-up macro photograph of multiple rifle cartridges linked together in a belt ammunition configuration. The rounds feature copper-jacketed bullets with distinctive green tips, seated in brass casings connected by black metal belt links. The shallow depth of field creates a bokeh effect on the background rounds while the foreground cartridges are in sharp focus.
