POTD: Suppressed CAR 817 DMR & Company In Action 

By Eric B

The CAR 817 DMR is an unusual find in the world of firearms, so when we see it in action its place in TFB’s Photo Of The Day is given. The CAR 817 is made by the EDGE Group, United Arab Emirates, and here it can be seen used in the sand by French soldiers.There are a few other interesting firearms around this POTD, like the FN SCAR H PR, H&K HK416F and the PGM Hécate II sniper rifle.

The caption from the 27e Bataillon de chasseurs alpin reads (machine-translated from French):“From October 12 to November 9, 2024, the 27th BCA honed its know-how in the United Arab Emirates during the Dhiaab al Jabal 2024 exercise. On the firing range, the range of weapons reflected the diversity of our missions: PGM Hecate 2 (12.7 caliber), Minimi, SCAR-H (7.62 caliber) and HK-416 (5.56 caliber). In the heat, our Alpines honed their precision and shared their know-how with the Emirati unit.
