The RMA awards the all-metal Weapons Qualification Badge for qualifications in various weapons, as distinguished from the ribbon suspended medals awarded for marksmanship in the RMN and RMMC. The ranks, in ascending order, are Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert, and High Expert, and qualifying weapons include rifle, pistol, plasma rifle, and tri-barrel.[6]
