No casings ejected

Took my mini-14 out shooting again. I shot 15 rounds out of the 20 round magazine and noticed no casings were being ejected. We looked all around and NO spent casings on the ground. We watched the action on the last 5 rounds and no casings were ejected. I put in another magazine and fired 2 rounds (I believe they were a different brand). The casings ejected with no problems. I don't know what to think or do about this. Any ideas?

Do you also own an automatic bolt action single shot?

I had a case of beer like that once, they were getting empty but I swear I didn’t drink them!

Theres a hole in this bottle...

I'll stick with Brass, the term Midway USA uses.

Midway USA uses the term "brass", because they don't sell steel cases for reloading. They do sell some ammo with steel cases. They list it under the subcategory of Case Type - Steel...

Power, coil, core. Electromagnet. And ekectrical tape. I jerryrigged one from scrap copper wire, big nail, and my 6v lantern battery (patrol flashlight) to rescue some gal's carkeys.

Could always post on a hosting platform and give a link.

ETA: animated gif would work as well. Could probably post that as an image here.

Tagging in.....

Little bit more complicated to get non-ferrous metals to respond to magnetic fields.

Ha, there is a brass metal mixture that IS magnetic. Guess what it is.

Yes. But.....you have to become a supporting member to watch them. Once you become a supporting member you will be sent a couple decals, a nice hand written thank you note, special glasses that will allow you to see posted videos (videos only last 24 hrs), and a BS detector that plugs into a USB port that lights up when you read BS in a thread.

Don't get people using the word "casings". Casings can be the outside of sausage. The term is brass. Don't want to hear "spelling Nazi" or otherwise. Just the same as you'd have no respect for a nurse who used the time "needle thingy" for a syringe.

I hear you there Donnieweps, sausage casings would be hard to load in a Mini, but, Reminds me of the time I was shooting my "Old Model" Vaquero at the range, I was on one end and a Mini shooter was on the other, had to be 30 or more feet away. I was getting brass landing on me the whole time. They do spit them out far.

Please edify us.

Please edify us.

Yes please do.

Hmmm...so just cos the school science wizzard (physics teacher) said it works, i just looked ut up and nonferro needs ac and more power than you want to carry a generator for. "Nevermind..."

Yes, its real

You're ridiculous . . . face!

No it really isnt, it just got off on a tangerine. Lets get back to the topic at hand, evaporating casings, or, dissolving casings or magnetic brass casing.....IDK

I like the explanation on the "yeet" power of the ejector

How did citrus fruit get involved?
