I can't imagine the amount of practice needed to shuck the empties one handed and not highly risk dropping the gun. I think we just learned of more examples of folks that have ascended and are no longer human....
This would sure not be the time to try such a thing. Even during a fun match there's at least SOME adrenaline going on. If there weren't we would likely find some other hobby. So the finer motor skills are going to be.... um..... not so fine. A firm hold in one hand and running the ejector with the other seems prudent.
Hey Corp', do you reload your own ammo? If so it's a cinch to make up some dummy rounds with real bullets but no primers to use for practice loading. that way they have the proper weight and balance too. Something you don't get with aluminium or plastic snap caps.
I make up my own in this manner. For revolvers I just crimp the bullets normally. For semi auto guns I load spacers of dowel so the bullets don't become set back with use and time. I also drill a couple or three small holes in the casings so they are instantly recognizable as being dummies.
