    A general-purpose machine gun mounted on a bipod/tripod is positioned on sandy ground at what appears to be a military training range or firing position. The weapon is set up in a static firing configuration with supporting equipment visible nearby. The setting is an open sandy area with vegetation visible in the background under warm, golden-hour lighting.
    Two military personnel in full tactical gear are positioned on a sandy training range, with one kneeling and one in a prone position. Both are wearing multicam camouflage uniforms, tactical vests, and helmets, and appear to be observing or engaging a downrange area. The setting appears to be an outdoor live-fire or training range with a treeline visible in the background.
