I have 6 handguns, 2 assault rifles, tactical shotguns...All of them I used for work, now retired. I left federal investigations for the private sector and worked personal protection/investigations. I consider myself a lefty. Everything is locked up and secured.

In the Army, I was on the M16 range one day.......really hot and humid and the sweat was pouring. My face kept being hit by the ejected shells....a couple even went down my shirt. The casings tore up my face, but didn't realize it because of sweat pouring down. Only realized I was bleeding after an instructor pulled me off the line and sent me to the medic

I don't need no steenking brass deflector!

As a personal preference... never have, and never will be a fan of bullpup style EBR's.
