On a B17 bomber the spent shell casings (brass) fell on the floor. Everything was scarce and rationed during WWII so I assume the brass was reused.
Europe
Although the F-105 Thunderchief was the largest single engine jet fighter-bomber made, and was the USAFs only purpose built "fighter-bomber" (all others were fighters or interceptors) it was the smallest bomber used in the Vietnam War. The USN A6 Intruder and the USAF B57 Canberra were medium bombers used during the war, and the B52 Stratofortress was the heavy bomber of the Vietnam War.

Yes there is a bomber plane that is called a B-17 they also used small bomber planes like a dive bomber and so did Germans/Nazis. There is one plane that drop bombs that is called a stuka. To like bomb ships and even ground troops like American tanks ground troops .Navy and they sometimes even drop bombs on submarines as they were diving but they were not fast enough American b17 was a flying fortress Americans use it to bomb Nazi warehouses airfields and even factories.

Boeing B17
The B17, B24, and B29s were the heavy bombers of WWII. The B52 was the heavy bomber of the Vietnam War.
It was the Flying Fortress, dubbed so by a Seattle journalist and later adopted as the official name.
WWII
The Boeing B-17 was a US Army Air Corps four-engine bomber with heavy defensive machine-gun armament and a crew of 10. Hundreds of them were used to bom German-occupied lands at that time.
B16 and B17 bolts are specially designed bolts used by boilermakers. These bolts are used in high temperature service areas of the boiler.
The B52 Stratofortess. During the Vietnam War, one B52 could carry up to 108 750lb HE bombs. That was equal to about 10 World War 2 B17 bombers.

Any bomber's use is ONLY for the military.
