By a stroke of luck, this is important to a user wielding two M7s at once, such as a SPARTAN, who would not want to have hot brass flying in his or her face from the eject port of the weapon in his left hand. The projectile itself is "jacketed," or coated, in metal (possibly copper or steel) to aid in penetration of the target. "Caseless" rounds are actually embedded into the block of propellant, reducing their length, allowing more [[ammo]] to be stored in a smaller space. | By a stroke of luck, this is important to a user wielding two M7s at once, such as a SPARTAN, who would not want to have hot brass flying in his or her face from the eject port of the weapon in his left hand.
