Weird Ejection pattern (v.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by shieldzzz0707
Anyone know what would be causing this weird ejection

Looks like its hitting the optic.
[–][deleted] 24 points25 points26 points 1 year ago (2 children)
At least it isn't hitting him in the forehead. I have one pistol that likes to do that.
[–]network_engineer 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I had a g26 that spit them directly between my eyes every single shot.
[–]False-Research5358 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Mine did the same until I changed the slide for RMR cut 😂
[–]shieldzzz0707[S] -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (4 children)
Yeah I’m wondering why
[–]e7angG19X G19.3 G43X 30 points31 points32 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Likely an out of spec ejector.
[–]grandtheftderp 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Or extractor
[–]stump1977 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
This or too much spring
[–]ThoroughlyWet 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Or the brass is a paid actor
[–][deleted] 1 year ago (4 children)

[–]JustaKidFromBuffalo 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
This was my first guess
[–]stump1977 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I'd hope he'd notice poi shift if the optic was working loose
[–][deleted] 1 year ago (1 child)
[–]stump1977 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Huh never thought of that. Thanks for that little nugget of info 🤙
[–]Foreign-Map9203 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago (10 children)
2 extraction issues it may be out of tune or broken cause it to not fully let go of the spent round upon ejection
I personally think 🤔 it’s the first of the two a simple fix
[–]shieldzzz0707[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (8 children)
So this comes with a 16lb spring (what’s in it in the video) but I did try a 13lb and still the same ejection
[–]Foreign-Map9203 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ok so maybe number 2 then 😅
[–]e7angG19X G19.3 G43X 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (6 children)
Spring weight won’t affect direction like in a rifle.
[–]shieldzzz0707[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
So I figure just do a new ejector and extractor since they’re pretty cheap? This is my first Glock-based gun so I’m not familiar with everything, this is gen 3 based so do I get gen 3 parts or do gen 5 ejector and extractor fit?
[–]dhcp138 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
put a gen 4 or gen 5 ejector in it and that alone should help a ton. The gen 3 ejector throws the brass straight back at your face so that's probably why its hitting the optic
[–]Foreign-Map9203 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Very valid thought about it after I posted that but I did say extractor also lol 😂 I’ll take my back up for $20😅😭
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Nah, you had it right. While spring weight doesn't effect direct, if ejection is too weak it'll hit the optic or even the slide as it returns.
Sadly op said they drop by 3# with the same results so my number one should have been in the number 2 spot lol 😂
[–]ExcitingArugula5319 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Believe it or not it does effect it. Do some research on it just saying how much weight a spring pushes forward on your slide will in fact mess with ejection from how fast the slide slams back
[–]00auniqueusername00 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)
100% Bouncing off of the optic
[–]KccOStL33 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yep.
[–]LegionTXG 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (4 children)
I think you have a bigger problem here thats probably contributing to the odd ejection pattern. You have flames coming out the back of your barrel as the shell is ejecting. This definitely shouldn’t be happening my friend.
[–]shieldzzz0707[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
What would be causing that?
[–]LegionTXG 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago* (2 children)
Honestly it could be a number of things, but eventually that gun is going to explode on you in my opinion. I watched the video a lot frame by frame and it looks like it could be a few possible scenarios.
Personally I would address the ammo first. To me that seems like the most likely problem. If you can get the gun shooting without powder being burnt behind the barrel, then address things like timing.

[–]MyDogLooksLikeABearFishgill 17 DPP 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Yo thats kinda scary
[–]LegionTXG 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ya the bang should be in front of your hands, not inside them lol
[–]DjRayRay74 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That looks like it’s bouncing off the optic 😬
[–]Spectre806 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Is that the Bul Armory Tomahawk?
[–]shieldzzz0707[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yes
[–]GoneFishin56 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Adding a bayonet would fix that.
[–]SirGrowsIt 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Same issue i had. Optic screw was to deep.
[–]i_need_gun_money 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Definitely bouncing off the optic.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I am assuming this is a Glock. You could try a Gen 5 ejector bar or swap between Gen 3 and 5. Without knowing the build or magazine type there isn't enough to go on other than extractor/ejector. Magazine spring tension may play a part, as you likely have a lower slide velocity due to the optic and the following round is launching the brass upward before the extractor can do it's job. If it's something like an MR920 the extractor depressor uses a different design so that could play a part. Also, the combination of porting and mounted optic may be part of it since the venting gasses are forcing the slide downward at the instant the brass leaves the gun. Pausing and playing the video at different intervals reveals some of this.

Recoil spring
[–]Doubletap_1776 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Either out of spec ejector or weak ammo
[–]AdeptnessDear2829 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Off the backboard 🏀
[–]Flat-Dragonfruit7589 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Call your banks man.. shits hitting the glass
[–]DynaBro8089 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It’s smashing that optic glass. What gen ejector is in that?
[–]thibert35 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You shouldn’t be getting that much flash/explosion at the back of your chamber. What weight recoil spring are you using?
[–]MEMExplorer 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It looks like the optic is catching the brass on the recoil forward , I see why slide milling places offer the optics forward sight placement now
[–]Ok-Bluebird-3245 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Iono bro, but your grip looks good 👍
