    A U.S. Navy sailor wearing a tan cap, hearing protection, and sunglasses is marking or scoring paper shooting targets on a naval vessel at sea. The targets, labeled 'Transitional Target II,' are hung on a line and show visible bullet holes. This appears to be a post-shooting exercise assessment taking place on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship.
    A firearms qualification or training exercise is taking place on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. A person in an orange t-shirt is aiming an M16/M4-style rifle toward paper targets suspended in the distance, while an observer in a tan t-shirt and cap monitors from behind. All visible participants are wearing hearing protection ear muffs.
    Multiple individuals are in a prone shooting position on a firing range, aiming rifles downrange. The foreground subject is a woman wearing pink ear protection, safety glasses, and a tan/brown shirt, holding what appears to be an M16/AR-15 style rifle. Blue shooting mats are visible beneath the shooters, and a range safety officer or instructor is partially visible at the right edge.
    A group of individuals in a prone or low-position firing line are aiming M16/M4-style rifles downrange on what appears to be a shipboard or outdoor military range. Personnel are wearing hearing protection and eye protection, consistent with a supervised live-fire qualification exercise. A person in U.S. Navy camouflage (NWU) uniform is visible on the right, suggesting a military training context.
    A young man is aiming a black semi-automatic rifle, consistent with an M4/AR-15 style carbine, at a shooting range. He is wearing hearing protection earmuffs and safety glasses, indicating proper range safety protocols. The setting appears to be an outdoor range, possibly on a military vessel or elevated platform based on the background netting.
