And by the way, the casings are not ejected, but recycled into the
ammunition drum for storage (and CG considerations)

As a signal of where the work has progressed to, when I read this, I
tried to figure out what CG meant in this connection. What Act of
Congress specified that the military had to recycle its brass? Or was
it merely a Conservation Guidance memo from the Pentagon?

I went through two or three of these before I realized that you were
talking about weight distribution.
