Could not think of much so I wanted to try and show a shallow DOF between the bullet and the barrel of the gun as well as the targets in the background.

Lighting was one Opus M100 with Opus 46 umbrella camera right at about 1/8 power, one Nikon SB24 camera left on stand with Photoflex 36 umberlla at 1/16 power and one Nikon SB24 camera left on stand pointed at backdrop at 1/16 power with home made grid.

I won't vote on this but to be honest, pictures of firearms are just kinda weird to me. Nevertheless this does meet the challenge and I do like how you used the rifle to accentuate the Shallow DOF

don't like the concept and the subjects

Good use of shallow DOF though I wonder if the image would be more dynamic with a view down the rifle barrel.

Really cool setup. Isn't this a Mauser, K98?

has a blueish tint to it, I don't know if you were going for that intentionally or not though. the reflection in the bottom right corner is a little bothersome though.
