For one thing, the flying brass can catch sunlight and give away your position to the enemy if you were firing from concealment. For this reason, many sniper rifles are bolt-action, so that the marksman can decide when to reload, and so shell casings can be carefully collected after each shot. </li><li> There are many cases during daylight bombing raids in World War II that a bomber machine gun turrets ejected cartridges rained down upon the windscreens of bombers below and behind it. In a tightly packed formation, this would occasionally present a problem when the impact of the 50 caliber cartridges would start to shatter the windscreens due to the speed and sheer number of which were falling. </li><li> Many female firearms instructors and sport-shooters mention that getting shell-casings down one's cleavage is very unpleasant (imagine dropping a fresh-from-the-frier french fry down your shirt), and suggest wearing high-collared shirts, buttoned most of the way. <ul ><li> For both genders, this is also one argument against bullpup weapons - since the action is ejecting cases behind the trigger from within what is functioning as the buttstock, unless the rifle in question has a reversible ejection port, trying to fire it lefty will typically result in that shower of brass all hitting the shooter right in their face. <ul ><li> Many bullpup weapons are quite reconfigurable, so a leftie can change the side of the gun from which shells eject. The Steyr Aug has this feature, for example. The British Army's <span class='esc-seq' title='non-wikiword'>SA80</span> bullpups like the L85 and L86, on the other hand, do <em>not</em> have this feature and, as a result, must be exclusively fired right-handed, even if the user is left-handed; along with the extensive reliability issues that dogged early models, this has contributed to making the L85 and its ilk deeply unloved among their users. </li><li> This is also why the current US Army uniform includes a velcro tab to let the soldier flip the collar up and seal it. </li><li> Some weapons, like the P90, eject their spent cases downward; others, like <a class='createlink' rel='nofollow' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FN2000' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FN2000' data-format='Rk4yMDAw'>FN 2000</a> assault rifle, feature a "brass chute" that directs spent casings forward, away from the shooter's face, and lets them fall out of an opening in the front of the firearm. </li></ul></li></ul></li><li> Simultaneously averted and played straight with Russian machine guns, like Maxim M1910 (a Russian licensed variant) and its successor, the PK\PKM general purpose machine gun. On one hand, both of them use non-disintegrating belts (no small, snaggy links falling out; old belts were cloth, modern are metallic, come in 50-round strips and are multiple-use). On the other hand, PKM ejects its brass with unusual gusto, capable of injuring unprotected skin, and hurls the cases to the left - an unusual direction for Western users. This is because PK* action is basically an inverted AK writ large, so while AK has its ejection port, as usually, on the right side, inverting it effectively moves the port to the left. </li><li> The <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GatlingGood' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GatlingGood' data-format='W1tHYXRsaW5nR29vZCBtaW5pIGd1bl1d'>mini gun</a> and similar weapons have a quite impressive example of this. The spent shells are rather forcefully ejected to make room for new bullets, so a specialized pipe is used to redirect the casings. When fired at full RPM, this pipe looks like it is spewing liquid brass. <ul ><li> Australian veterans of the Vietnam war share a favourite complaint; 'supporting' fire from American UH-1B 'Huey' gunships frequently made strafing runs from whatever direction was convenient, oblivious to friendly infantry on the ground receiving literal showers of hot brass casings from the twin M134 miniguns. The furious rate of fire from these weapons gave little time for the chamber to cool between shots, meaning the casings were hot enough to cause burn injuries even after falling from the sky. </li></ul></li><li> Classic photographs from both world wars show artillery pieces, especially after the prolonged bombardments of the Western Front, surrounded by heaped spent brass shell casings that are taller than the guns. </li><li> A story goes that sailors like messing with the <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NewMeat' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NewMeat' data-format='TmV3TWVhdA=='>New Meat</a> by telling them the circular markings on the deck are caused by a species of seabird that eats parasites and barnacles in the hull, the circles are due to the fact that it pecks around its feet. In reality, the markings are those left by spent casings from the ship's guns. </li><li> Averted for many modern fighter jet guns. Foreign object damage (acronym-ized as FOD) is a serious risk for these aircraft all the way to their manufacturing origins. To prevent spent casings from getting sucked into the jet engine intakes, they are often recycled back into the magazine space now vacated by the ammo expenditure. </li></ul></div> <hr data-format='——' /> </p></div> <div class="lazy-video-script"> <a id="VideoExamples"></a> <div> </div> <div class="video-examples has-thumbnails"> <div class="video-examples-header"> <a href="#feedback" class="font-s float-right text-blue" data-modal-target="login" >Feedback</a> <h3 class="bold">Video Example(s):</h3> </div> <div class="video-examples-featured"> <div class="example_video_box"> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="nkmy3g" data-video-descrip="Powder unleashes her minigun on her attacker." data-video-title="Powder goes berserk" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/nkmy3g_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/nkmy3g.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/nkmy3g.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/nkmy3g.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/GatlingGood" data-video-tropename="Gatling Good" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="5.00" data-video-rating-count="6" data-video-media-sources="Main/MoreDakka,Main/SpentShellsShower,WesternAnimation/Arcane" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link featured-widget-vid"> <div class="featured-widget-vid-iframe"> <div id="tvtropes_no_volume_player" data-video-image="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/nkmy3g.jpg" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/nkmy3g_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/nkmy3g.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/nkmy3g.m3u8" data-controls="0" data-muted="1"> <script> tropes_videos_commands.push(function(){ new_video_project.load_video("tvtropes_no_volume_player", false); }); </script> </div> </div> </a> </div> <h2 class="bold font-l">Powder goes berserk</h2> <p class="_pmvv-vidbox-descTxt"> Powder unleashes her minigun on her attacker. </p> <p class='example_row'>Example of:<br><a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GatlingGood"class='trope-example-link'>Gatling Good</a></p> </div> <div class="video-examples-thumbs"> <a href="#video-link" data-video-id="f0gmev" data-video-descrip="After dealing with the people behind the bioterrorist attacks, Ada ties up a few loose ends by destroying all evidence of &quot;Project Ada&quot;." data-video-title="Tying Up Loose Ends (Spoiler)" data-video-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/qvbr/f0gmev_640x360p_qvbr.mp4" data-mpd-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/dash/f0gmev.mpd" data-hls-url="https://d1w6li7s85ibls.cloudfront.net/hls/f0gmev.m3u8" data-video-thumbnail="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/f0gmev.jpg" data-video-trope="Main/DestroyTheEvidence" data-video-tropename="Destroy the Evidence" data-video-approval="APPROVED" data-video-troper-rating="" data-video-average-rating="" data-video-rating-count="" data-video-media-sources="Main/NotSoStoic,Main/SpentShellsShower,VideoGame/ResidentEvil6" class="video-launch-link video-overlay-link video-background-image lazy-image" data-src="https://static.tvtropes.org/trope_videos_transcoded/images/sd/f0gmev.jpg"> <p><span class="bold">Tying Up Loose ...</span></p> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-links" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement"> <div class="titles"> <div><h3 class="text-center text-uppercase">Previous</h3></div> <div><h3 class="text-center text-uppercase">Index</h3></div> <div><h3 class="text-center text-uppercase">Next</h3></div> </div> <div class="links"> <ul> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpareAMessenger">Spare a Messenger</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GunsAndGunplayTropes">Guns and Gunplay Tropes</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpontaneousSkeetShooting">Spontaneous Skeet Shooting</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SexTropes">Sex Tropes</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ImageSource/LiveActionFilmsAToL">ImageSource/Live-Action Films (A to L)</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CobwebOfDisuse">Cobweb of Disuse</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpeedySnail">Speedy Snail</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AlliterativeName/TropesSToZ">AlliterativeName/Tropes S to Z</a> </li> <li> <a href="/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpidersAreScary">Spiders Are Scary</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <script> if( document.getElementById('user-prefs').classList.contains('folders-open') ){ console.log('open all folders'); var elements = document.querySelectorAll('.folderlabel, .toggle-all-folders-button'); elements.forEach((element) => { element.classList.add('is-open'); }); } </script> <script> function insert_ad(adCount, paragraph, adName, folder = 0){ var ad_count = adCount < 10 ?
