    Military personnel are conducting a live-fire training exercise at a shooting range. A prone shooter is operating what appears to be an M249 or similar belt-fed light machine gun, with spent brass casings visibly ejecting and accumulating on the ground. At least two other personnel are standing nearby, one holding what appears to be binoculars or optics on a Vortex-branded strap.
