D-1. DGT BASIC INSTRUCTIONAL FIRING TABLES
The basic instructional firing tables for the DGT include Firing Tables 1 through 4.
a. Firing Table 1. This firing table introduces the new gunner to the DGT. The gunner will engage stationary targets using the daysight. The hit zone will be set at 100 percent. Students will be allowed to rest for three to five minutes between events. The student will learn—
(1) To use the proper force when pulling down on the Dragon.
(2) To control his breathing.
(3) To aim the weapon properly under different obscuration settings from the sitting position.

| STANDARDS | Breathe and aim properly while in the sitting position. |
b. Firing Table 2. The students must be able to track the moving targets with a smooth transition between targets. Trainers will set the hit zone to 100 percent. Students will be allowed to rest for three to five minutes between events.
| TASK | Engage stationary and moving targets. |
| CONDITIONS | Given a DGT, DGT disk number 14, LCE, protective mask, and helmet. |
| STANDARDS | Apply proper breath control and aiming procedures while firing from the sitting position. |
c. Firing Table 3. Trainers will set the hit zone to 100 percent. Students will be allowed to rest for three to five minutes between events.
| TASK | Engage moving targets. |
| CONDITIONS | Given a DGT, DGT disk number 14, LCE, protective mask, and helmet. |
| STANDARDS | Apply proper breath control and aiming procedures while in the sitting position. |
d. Firing Table 4. The table introduces the new gunner to using the DGT with multiple targets and to using both the daysight and nightsight with different obscuration settings. Students will be required to track while wearing a protective mask. Trainers will set the hit zone to 100 percent. Students will be allowed to rest for three to five minutes between events.
| TASK | Engage multiple targets. |
| CONDITIONS | Given a DGT, DGT disk number 14, LCE, protective mask, and helmet. |
| STANDARDS | Apply proper breath control and aiming procedures while in the sitting position. |

D-3. DGT QUALIFICATION FIRING TABLES
The qualification firing tables for the DGT include Firing Tables 7 and 8.
a. Firing Table 7. Soldier practices firing the DGT. This table is for practice qualification only. It evaluates the gunner's ability to engage stationary and moving targets using both the daysight and nightsight. Some targets are more difficult to hit than others.
