Gunnery Tables are used to train crews to acquire and perfecting their gunnery skills through various conditions.
Each table has a specific purpose, which collective builds the crew up in proficiency until the last table, which consists of numerous targets and maneuvers, where the crew attempts to qualify on the vehicle.
Tank crewmen are expected to effectively hit the simulated targets to qualify and be mission ready.

Footage shows U.S. Soldiers training on Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station or CROWS, mounted on Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles and Humvees at training range.
The Common Remotely Operated Weapon Statio or CROWS is an externally mounted weapons control system that allows the gunner to operated from inside the vehicle with precision fire to the maximum effective range of the weapon while on the move or stationary.
Capable of target engagement under day and night conditions, the CROWS sensor suite includes a daytime video camera, thermal camera and laser rangefinder.
The CROWS is designed to mount on any tactical vehicle and supports the Mk 19 Automatic Grenade Launcher, M2 .50-caliber Machine Gun, M240B Machine Gun and M249 Machine Gun.

Soldiers conduct weapons testing with a C-RAM - Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar weapon system as part of live fire exercise that takes place on Fort Sill, Oklahoma in preparation for unit deployment.
The Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar weapon system(also called C-RAM) is used as a response to indirect fire attacks on a base. It is a set of systems used to detect and/or destroy incoming rockets, artillery, and mortar rounds in the air before they hit their ground targets.
The 20mm Land-Based Phalanx Weapon System is a land-based variant of the U.S. Navy's Phalanx CIWS weapon system, a radar-controlled rapid-fire gun for close-in protection of vessels.
Both use a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera to allow their operators to visually identify incoming fire.

U.S. Soldiers participate in weapons training and qualification utilizing M2 Browning .50 caliber havy machine guns along with M240B 7.62 mm medium machine guns.
The Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun has the longest service record of any weapon in the U.S. inventory. It is capable of firing 500 rounds per minute and boasts an effective range of 1.2 miles or 1.9 km.
The M240 machine gun, officially the Machine Gun, 7.62 mm, M240, is a family of belt-fed, gas-operated medium machine guns that chamber the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. The M240 has been used by the United States Armed Forces since the late 1970s.
The M240B is almost always referred to as the "M240 Bravo" or just "240" verbally. The lighter M240L has started to replace the M240B in U.S. Army service.

Various episodes of U.S. Marines and U.S. Air National Guard Service Members training on Mk-19s (pronounced Mark 19) during live-fire training exercises at shooting range.
The training was focused on enhancing a wide variety of skillsets with the Mk-19 automatic grenade launcher including: improving and sustaining their marksmanship skills and engaging with simulated targets(including heavy-armored ones) from stationary and moving positions, honing their accuracy, maintaining readiness, communication abilities, suppressive fire capabilities and more.
The Mk 19 grenade launcher is an American 40 mm belt-fed, air-cooled, man-portable, automatic grenade launcher.
It fires 40 mm grenades giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained) at a maximum distance of 2212 meters (2419 yd) capable of piercing through up to two inches(5 cm) of armor.
It can fire from a tripod-mounted position(example at 04:24) or from a vehicle mount(example at 05:08), with the latter being the preferred method, as the grenade launcher alone weighs 77.6 pounds (35.2 kg). Due to its low recoil and comparatively light weight, it has been adapted for use on many different platforms, including small attack boats, fast attack vehicles such as the Humvee (HMMWV), Stryker, military jeeps, and a large variety of naval mounts.

The V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The MV-22B is a variant for the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marine Corps is the lead service in the V-22's development. The Marine Corps variant is an assault transport for troops, equipment and supplies, capable of operating from ships or expeditionary airfields ashore.
00:00 - U.S. Soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade got to train with U.S. Marine Corps Osprey pilots on aircraft familiarization and load training.
01:52 - U.S. Marines conduct defensive weapon system training utilizing the Remote Guardian System on the MV-22B Osprey. The DWS is remotely operated, belly-mounted, retractable, and incorporates a gunner station, targeting sensor and the GAU-17 minigun designed to provide suppressive fire. Proficiency with this weapon system increases the readiness for the Marines.
02:51 - U.S. Marine pilots transport troops and cargo with MV-22 Ospreys onto the San Antonio-class amphibious transportation dock USS New York.

Video highlights of the F-35B Lightning II featuring aerial demonstrations of the aircraft's landing and takeoff capabilities.
The F-35B is equipped with short takeoff and vertical landing capability(STOVL) that expands its range by allowing it to operate from naval vessels, aviation-capable ships and in austere, expeditionary environments.
Designed for the U.S. Marine Corps, the F-35B variant would do what no other plane had ever done: accelerate past the speed of sound in flight, then make vertical landings on the smallest of landing footprints, much like a helicopter.

Video highlights of Soldiers participating in 120 mm mortar live-fire training exercises and weapon familiarization on the range utilizing the M120A1(Soltam K6) 120 mm towed mortar system and the M327 120mm rifled towed mortar.
This exercises test the abilities of the mortar section to execute indirect fire missions rapidly, safely and effectively under any condition providing constant and accurate high-angle suppressive fire on targets they may not be able to even see.
