For left-handed shooters, firearm ejection is key. The FN PS90 offers bottom ejection and ambidextrous controls, but its 5.7x28mm caliber is costly. Standard AR-15s can work with features like a brass deflector, ambidextrous safety, and an enlarged charging handle. Be cautious of gas blowback on suppressed or over-gassed AR-15s.

This video from Nikko Ortiz demonstrates a critical firearm safety lesson on avoiding 'slide bite' or injury from a closing handgun slide. He illustrates the danger using a piece of paper, showing how the slide's force can easily cause severe injury if a finger is in the wrong place, like the ejection port. The expert emphasizes careful handling to prevent painful accidents.

This video highlights a critical gun safety rule: keep fingers away from the ejection port on semiautomatic firearms. A student learned this lesson the hard way, sustaining a bleeding cut from the slide. Proper firearm handling, especially understanding the moving parts like the slide and ejection port, is essential for beginners to prevent injuries during training.

Bullpup conversions of existing rifles are generally considered poor quality due to inherent design challenges. Key issues include problematic ejection, compromised trigger mechanisms, and unstable sight heights. While some designs like the Polish MSBS Grot offer modularity, dedicated bullpup designs typically outperform conversions. Even professional military attempts like the Valmet M82 and Vektor CR-21 are often unsatisfactory.

This tutorial details how to swap the ejection side on a FAMAS F1 rifle from left to right. It covers removing the buttstock, manipulating the ejection port cover, and disassembling the bolt carrier group. Key steps include swapping the positions of the real extractor and its dummy placeholder on the bolt face, and reassembling the components.

The Colt 1907 Trials Pistol represents a crucial evolutionary step towards the M1911, incorporating John Browning's early designs. It faced significant challenges during US military trials, including sear breakage and ejection issues, leading to modifications like enlarged ejection ports and improved sears. Despite initial skepticism from cavalry troops favoring revolvers, the 1907's development paved the way for the iconic 1911.
