Throw rocks back
Just get hit
Retaliate with superior force

I will say in my experience that the threat of fire arms and zip tying one or 2 of the throwers usually took the starch out of them.

I heard that you "took the starch out of them" but I did not hear that you actually shot them.  Sounds like there was some middle ground in there, even in a real war zone. 

I am also thinking that shooting unarmed civilians in Afghanistan might have been a big problem for you. You were under COIN doctrine, right?

How old were your rock throwers, typically?
