[Marine A5 Sniper Rifle]

Marine Cpl Sylvester L. Hanna, 19 (Chicago, Illinois), sights in his rifle during an operation south of Danang. Hanna was a sniper with 2d Battalion, 7th Marines [2/7]. You think the photographer checked the chamber of that rifle first?51023

Luckily for the photographer that's not a picture of Alec Baldwin.
