Do they actually fire ar anything, or just popping off rounds for function check?

On float, it is not unusual to set up targets on either the fan tail or sides of the ship, and just shoot.

Also, whats that behind the front sight on the two rifles with the grenade launchers, one is on the top and one on the side. (batteries maybe?) |

The one of the left is an AN/PEQ-2 IR pointer/illuminator and the others are AN/PAQ-4 IR laser aiming device (both are too be used with NVGs).

Seems to me they're doing PT. No. I'm pretty sure they were falling down an elevator or possibly thrown overboard. |

on their backs doing flutter kicks. commonly known as "rifle PT". and when youre aboard ship and have a live fire they set up targets at 30yds suspended from cables or they'll throw some ammocans overboard and you blast them.
