Yes, I have several dents in my walls, ceilings, cabinets etc. that are there due to ejecting cartridges. So of course, I am no stranger to the modelgun destruction cycle! _________________ Wanted to buy: MGC Sten MK3....trades?(still)

I've come dangerously close to throwing a 5.56 casing through my lappy's screen Aside from that, the only casualy has been my pride after managing to eject a .45 round straight at my head. For some reason that one decided to go straight up and backwards in an arc.
