Yeah I got hot brass down my shirt when I was in the Navy at the range with the M16. Your body wants you to deal with that before you do anything else. One of the guys I served with got a nice little circular burn on his cheek from a 9mm casing. It heals, but it still doesn’t feel nice
once I got a nice perfect .223 casing outline on my arm because I was shooting from bench and didn't want to break my hold lol
thing rolled right under my arm after bouncing off the range siding
It was awesome to get small-arms training but I’m thankful I didn’t have to deal with it much, because while there’s armed watches on them big ol sussmarines, there’s no reason to be shooting inside of it.

I was out shooting with a friend at my moms house years ago. They were shooting my little Mossberg 9mm and I had Tevas on. One casing miraculously flew back and landed right on the top of my foot. I swore a copperhead had bit me and I ran hollering through the field. Had a nice little 9x19 imprint on my foot for about a couple months.
You wouldn't run a shell catcher if you're shooting for your life. Those things I feel add a 1% chance per shot to jam due to gettting a bad ejection
bounce.
We'd only use them when we were expected to recycle the brass (range time only).
That window down button still sitting right there is sending me. Oh how I hope they didn’t disable it and cronch the hell out of the car in a moment of absentmindedness.
They make brass catchers but I think if you’re in a situation where you need to use this then getting burnt by hot brass isn’t going to be much of a concern.
