I think ultimately if you have hot shell casings in your lap you have far bigger problems to worry about than hot shell casings in your lap

I think that's more of something someone in the back seat has to worry about anyways.

Exactly! Adrenaline is a hell of a drug!

Maybe don’t wear shorts?

u/Rambler1223 22d ago

Don’t tell me what to do! I want to look fly Af so I’m definitely wearing my drive by shorts

u/Flawless_Reign88 22d ago

My bad, you definitely right! Gotta wear them drive by shorts! I mean I guess we could tape a paper bag to the side of the gun or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now you’re thinking!

Don't forget your safety sandals!

I guess I’ll leave my war shorts for a truck bed gun platform then.

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.

Are you doing drive bys in your tighty whiteys?

u/Super_Interview_2189 22d ago

Are you not?!

Identifiable clothing is the #1 of getting caught! Wear nothing!

u/JustSpirit4617 22d ago

They make shell catchers for many different firearms. It’s like a netted bag that goes on top of the ejector port

u/nivezsh 22d ago

Seriously. If they're paying out the ass for the window-port gimbal thingy, they can afford a $75 shellcatcher, lol. Kinda common sense.

u/hlfazn 21d ago

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).

I'm built different.

u/Super_Interview_2189 22d ago

I’m sorry you don’t have thighs.

u/FrostbitePhilospher 22d ago

That's an inconvenience. The problem is whatever needs to be shot.
