The M1071 is fired in the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) converted with the CCMCK Conversion Bolt, NSN 1005-99-848-0609.

The marking ammunition is a reduced-energy, non-lethal cartridge, that leaves a bright, water-soluble color marking compound on target upon impact, without penetrating the Warfighter-s Operational Camouflage Pattern on its Army Combat Uniforms (ACU) or Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE). The visible impact left by the marking compound allows for an accurate assessment of simulated lethality and shot placement.
