Image by Defence Images
A Royal Navy gunner onboard HMS Dragon fires a General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) at a parachute flare during a live firing exercise at night. The ship is currently on a seven month deployment.
Type 45 destroyer HS Dragon flexed her muscles firing every gun onboard. The serial started with the ship deploying the killer tomato, a big red inflatable target and engaging it with the ships 4.5 inch gun, quickly followed by the 30mm canons, phalanx, Miniguns and General Purpose Machine Guns.
