Operate a shotgun
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to operate a shotgun in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
The individual will be under supervision, usually as part of a team and will usually operate under direct orders.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to operate a shotgun, which at the time of writing included the Remington 870.
Operating a shotgun involves the ability to safely handle, safely maintain, safely operate and safely fire the shotgun.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
