Marines with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion made sure to plug their ears as they fired the loudest shoulder fired weapon in the Marine Corps weapons arsenal, the Shoulder launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon, during a range training event at Camp Lejeuene, N.C., Nov. 11, 2016. The event was geared towards those Marines who have never had hands on experience with the SMAW. The Marines were able to train in firing spotting rounds, rockets, and in using safe corrective actions. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Anthony Mesa)
