The L1A1 is their preferred weapon for Airiel culling, complete with case catchers of course.
We use deflector plates mounted above the ejection port to deflect the cases downward away from the rotor blades. .308 cases can do quite a lot of damage to $50,000 composite rotor blades! Semi-auto shotguns (Benellis are very popular) with buckshot are also used for some culling operations, and we use rubber deflectors that still allow access to the cocking handles.
