Safety issues

its better that the hammer cup catches the cap rather than your eye.
Good point even though we should always wear eye protection. A deeper hammer-cup will catch more spent caps than a shallow cup but also present more eye and burn problems. Once had a young student come back from the firing line, rubbing her arm. A piece of the cap landed with her sleeveless arem and gave her a burn. That's why some folks install flash cups. ...

I do not recommend you, shortening the depth of your hammer cup. ....

Be Safe !!!
