There is a rod on a chain attached to the rifle that is used to push out the empty case as the rifle is missing an ejector.

[2] There were 22.661 cartridges in stock 31/1 1942 [1] but I have still not found a box of this cartridge, only single pcs. From 1942 the cartridge to be used is specified as the standard m/14 blank cartridge. The later cartridge will give a slightly longer throwing distance.
