    The image shows a metal ammunition box containing multiple rifle cartridges arranged in rows. The cartridges feature brass casings with black crimped necks and copper-jacketed bullets, some of which have white or red tip markings indicating specific bullet types such as tracer or armor-piercing incendiary rounds. The ammunition appears to be linked or grouped belt-style for automatic weapon use.
    Military personnel aboard a naval vessel are conducting a weapons exercise using a crew-served machine gun mounted on a tripod on the ship's deck.
