POTD: French FN SCAR H PR, FN MAG 58 and HK416F

Someone brought a pretty good camera, a good lens and some skills to document the French 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment. This is great news for TFB’s Photo Of The Day, as we can share the FN SCAR H PR, the FN MAG 58 and the HK416F pictures with our readers. Going low with a tripod like this is something you should include in your skillset.

The caption is as follows, as machine-translated from French:

“The anti-tank section of the reconnaissance and support company of the 3rd RPIMa is completing a phase of operational preparation evaluated at the Larzac camp. Responding perfectly to the challenges encountered, both during its preparation and its control, the section shone with exceptional and historic results, surpassing the previous efficiency record, in particular for MAG 58 shooting at night.”

Talk about modernization. An old FN MAG with one of the most modern thermals. If it works, it works, and it’s highly likely that it does. Shooting the FN MAG on reactive steel targets is one of the funniest things I’ve ever done, but it was quite a long time ago when thermals probably weren’t even invented.
