An extractor ( 8 ), which is connected to the breechblock ( 3 ) and is preloaded in the direction of the cartridge case ( 5 ) by means of a spring ( 7 ), and an ejector ( 9 ), which is likewise connected to the breechblock ( 3 ), are provided for the ejection of the cartridge cases ( 5 ). The ejector ( 9 ) is arranged in a cylindrical ejector seat ( 10 ). The extractor ( 8 ) is arranged on an extractor seat ( 11 ), which is arranged for pivoting about the ejector seat ( 10 ). The extractor seat ( 11 ) can be fastened at different positions along the pivoting path in order to adjust the ejection direction of the cartridge cases ( 5 ).
