**Cartridge Ejection**

Cartridge ejection refers to the process by which a firearm expels a spent cartridge case after firing a round. This critical action ensures the firearm is ready to chamber the next round smoothly and maintain reliable operation. Proper cartridge ejection mechanisms vary depending on firearm design, including semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns, and can impact overall performance and safety. Understanding cartridge ejection is essential for firearm users, enthusiasts, and professionals interested in the mechanics and maintenance of their weapons.
