While this is obviously an exaggeration (I hope) I have seen people take a station and start firing without any regard for where their brass was flying. Depending on the weapon and how they are standing I’ve seen the guy at the next station get pelted with brass. Most times changing your position by two inches will fix the issue and put your brass into the divider and or pull it off your unintentional target.
The bottom line is know where your brass is going. Pay attention and shoot safely. You can easily burn someone with flying brass if your careful.
