Description: The MK19 Non-Lethal Short Range cartridge uses a telescoping cartridge case to provide weapon powering while launching non-lethal payloads. A variety of candidate payloads have been demonstrated, with multiple rubber balls being the leading candidate for initial fielding.

“In my own experiences, a MK-19 with NL Capabilities would provide tremendous overwatch and capability to push back a violent crowd as opposed to just engage a single agitator.
.... If the MK-19 in the foreground had NL Munitions, they would have been able to clear the crowd and re-open the bridge behind them.
….In cities and villages, a MK-19 could be extremely helpful in the event that you have a massive crowd of non-combatants who are being exploited by agitators and violent handlers to neutralize your position or deny necessary access.”
--LTC Jim Brown

Preliminary performance requirements: Minimum engagement range of 10 meters Maximum effective range of 50 meters Weapon cyclic rate 275 shots per minute
Other considerations: No weapon modifications required Trajectory compatible with weapon sights Non-lethality concerns including potential for eye injuries

40mm MK19 Non-Lethal Long Range
Description: Provides MK19 non-lethal capability with 50 to 1500 meter effective range.Uses “Davis Projectile” concept with airburst or proximity fuze to decelerate projectile at target location. Dispenses non-lethal payloads such as rubber balls. Uses conventional cartridge case and ammunition impulse to power the weapon mechanism for rapid-fire.
