Recovering spent cartridges

[pmulcahy11b]

You literally couldn't charge that weapon without removing the brass catcher.

[HorseSoldier]

Indeed. And once the catcher starts getting full, it's going to change how the weapons balances and handles. I see it as a real hard sell for anyone trained to run a gun well, or untrained troops who have much latitude on their kit.

[pmulcahy11b]

It should be noted that many armored vehicles are also designed to eject spent casings outside of the vehicle (this is especially true of autocannon-armed vehicles and armored gun systems). This applies more to large-caliber casings than small arms casings (which are often caught in brass catchers inside of armored vehicles), but is worth noting.

It's odd that no one's mentioned use of a metal detector (landmine or hobby version) to scan the ground for brass.

Do those detect non-magnetic metals I'll admit I don't know much about those.

"3. What types of things will a metal detector help me find

All metallic objects. Example: gold, silver, iron, nickel, copper, brass, aluminum, tin, lead, bronze. Metal detectors will not detect nonmetal items such as gemstones, diamonds, pearls, bone, paper, or stone figures."

Paul, looks like they will detect brass, and can discriminate between different kinds of metals.

Its true. I've used metal detectors for gold prospecting and different metals cause a different tone from some detectors. With experience you will have some idea what sort of metal you've found and the quantity/depth from the surface.

That's OK, I prefer brunettes.

On range cleanup we would just use brass magnets and sweep the firing mounds.

Oh, the wonders they're passing out these days...

[HorseSoldier]

I've spent many an afternoon dreaming about a brass magnet (usually while walking back and forth looking for that 10% or so that never gets picked up).

Though in the police academy we had a push-roller deal that picked up brass on the indoor range really well.

Do you mean those girls who like men in uniform, but only if they are senior officers
