Sleeve ejection is a phenomenon that occurs in firearms, particularly semi-automatic and automatic weapons, where the spent cartridge case (or sleeve) is expelled from the chamber after firing. This process is essential for the cycling of the firearm, as it allows for the loading of a new round into the chamber. If sleeve ejection is malfunctioning, it can lead to jams or failures to feed, impacting the firearm's reliability. Proper ejection is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of the weapon's operation.
Maybe in case if the plane crashed in enemy territory and the pilot still alive, he would then have a weapon to defend himself.
Case ejection
An ejection seat is used to rescue the crew of an aircraft in the case of an emergency by clearing the aircraft and then letting out a parachute. The first ejection seat was released in the 1940's.
Auto Ejection (of the shell case) Actually AE stands for Angle Eject,due to the top and side of the ejection port. Not like the old top eject port.
pistol
Although there are various methods, generally, automatic pistols work by using some of the energy of the fired projectile (recoil) to cycle the pistol. 1- Firing 2- Extraction (of the spent brass case from the chamber) 3- Ejection (of the spent brass from the weapon) 4- Chambering (of a fresh round of ammunition)

In this case, it would mean to "bear arms" - as in "carry a weapon.""He bears his load.""He bears a weapon."It means, "To carry a weapon."
If you're asking what the term stove pipe means, it's when the empty case of a fired cartridge is protruding from the ejection port.
