That photo reminds me of something: I was set up at the bench just to the right of that one a few months ago (unless I’m terribly mistaken, that’s the 50-yard range at American). I was trying out my new Bushmaster and there was some guy at the pictured bench with an AK-47. Now, not having spent much time around Kalashnikovs, I didn’t realize the force at which they eject the spent brass. After the other shooter’s friend noticed my efforts at dodging, they moved to the other side of the partition. It didn’t help much. I ended up having to move to the other side of the partition at my bench to avoid the incoming brass!

I used to purposely set up to the left of Eaker so as to rain hot brass from my SKS on him. It was great fun!

Guys trying out their new AKs and the 7.62X39 brass flying about 5 shooting stations and landing on me! Quite an ejection system the AK has.

Part of the reason they are so reliable is that they don’t fool around on extraction/ejection.
