It's been my experience that Luger P-08's/LP-08's, Mauser C96's/M30's, and Nambu T-14's eject fired cartridge cases straight up and back...Most of mine hit me square in the forehead, but several friends have gotten hot cases down their necks...

Absolutely right: I awlays use a baseball sort of cap and glasses everytime I go shooting, still some years ago a very hot ejected brass somehow went between my glasses and my face, and for some time I went around with a burn mark under my right eye.
