Gas escapes from the barrel of a M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle as a paratrooper assigned to the 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, Army Alaska, fires at a long-distance target on Statler range at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, April 6, 2018, during marksmanship training. A sniper's main responsibility is to deliver discriminatory, highly accurate rifle fire against enemy targets that cannot be engaged successfully by the regular rifleman due to range, size, location, fleeting nature, or visibility.
