I also think it is something that all shooters need to accept. I hate when someone gets rude about it as if they didn't expect flying brass to be an issue when they came to the range on a busy Saturday.

I went with my buddy once to the local indoor range and it was just the two of us. Another shooter came in and was on the lane next to us. I guess he was a little upset by all my friend's brass, so he moved 5 lanes over - problem solved, right? Then my buddy gets to shooting his FiveseveN and the guy 5 lanes over starts yelling because the 5.7 brass keeps flying down to his lane, ricocheting off the stall wall and pegging him in the head. I could hardly contain my laughter. My buddy apologized, but the guy was really mad and packed up his stuff and left. Cry baby.
