LESS-LETHAL QUALIFICATION MODIFIED FROM FM 3-19 CHAPTER 5 8-9
Soldiers should conduct Less-Lethal qualification annually, using the shotgun in the full stock configuration. In most cases, kinetic energy will only carry these NL munitions projectiles 75 meters or less. This gives trainers flexibility as to the locations where a live-fire exercise can be conducted, especially in a field-expedient situation.

Conditions: You are given a requirement to engage targets using a 12-gauge shotgun. You are given a shotgun, a grenade launching cup, 2 rubber ball grenade(Sting Ball), 2 Launching Rounds, 7 M-1012 rounds, 6 M-1013 rounds, Type E silhouette targets, and a 25 meter range.
Standards: Engaged targets with the 12-gauge shotgun, scores 15 hits USMC, 13 hits Army.
Note: The Stingball Grenade and grenade launching cup is a USMC only program. Stingball grenades should not be fired directly at individuals. The XM-104 Non-Lethal Bursting Hand Grenade SEP program should be expected to provide this capability to the Army in the future.
