This is probably the feature that scares me the most.  Any jamming in this 
ejection tube and serious malfunction results that takes a good bit of 
fiddling to fix.  They have kindly put access holes in the side of the tube 
to allow acces, but that also allows access to dirt and other obstructions.  
Reminds me of the magazine on the Chauchat.
