This is a picture of a U.S. Marine firing an M-4 rifle with an M203 grenade launcher attached. Every Marine is first and for most a rifleman. In other words, every Marine is trained to proficiency on a rifle before they are selected for another job. This builds unity and confidence in the brand.
The rifle is pointed at a target which is used for the purpose training all Marines to kill if need be. The picture applies the rule of thirds with the Marine on the left third of the picture and the rifle leading from the left third and into the middle third. The spent shell casing is in the right third along with the line of smoke leading it there.
The rifle, the grenade launcher and the shell casing all serve as vectors The rifle and launcher lead the eye to the target and the shell casing leads the eye to the adjacent of the marine.
