In aircraft, an ejection seat or ejector seat is a system designed to rescue the pilot or other crew of an aircraft (usually military) in an emergency. In most designs, the seat is propelled out of the aircraft by an explosive charge or rocket motor, carrying the pilot with it. The concept of an ejectable escape crew capsule has also been tried. Once clear of the aircraft, the ejection seat deploys a parachute. Ejection seats are common on certain types of military aircraft.

    Dented Cases

    Last weekend I took my AK-47 out with me. I fired a couple of clips of reloads and every case had a dent from the deflector about a half inch below the case shoulder. I figured ejecting faster might do it but the primmers and pockets looked fine. Anyone got a clue?
