Special conditions:
- The unloaded gun, with its longest magazine fitted, and with its barrel parallel to the long edge, must fit wholly lengthwise into a rectangular box (open on one long side). The internal length of the box is 1320 mm (tolerance: +1 mm, -0 mm). The gun must not be artificially compressed in any way during the test. Additionally, telescoping magazines tubes must be fully extended.
- Detachable magazines or tubes accessible to a competitor during a COF must not contain more than 10 rounds at the Start Signal. However, detachable magazines with an original maximum capacity of up to 12 rounds are permitted. Magazines must not be clipped, taped or otherwise attached to any other magazine at any time. Guns with fixed magazines may have an initial load of 14 rounds.
Detachable tubes shotguns with speed load mechanism with extra cartridges must not have more than 10 rounds in both devices combined at the Start Signal.
