Boom goes the dynamite

Airman 1st Class Eli Marquez, 87th Explosive Ordnance Disposal journeyman, trains on the M107 .50 caliber rifle, April 22, 2013, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. The EOD technicians use the rifle as a tool in the clearance of runways of unexploded ordnance. The rifle can be used to fire at unexploded ordnance in order to detonate or break them apart. The process for this is called standoff munitions disruption. Marquez hails from Miami, Okla. (U.S. Air Force photo by Russ Meseroll/Released)
