MG-34 EJECTION PORT DOOR       

1. Function: The ejection port door on the MG 34 serves to cover and protect the open ejection port on the receiver when the gun is not in use. It helps prevent dust, debris, and other foreign objects from entering the firearm, which could potentially affect its operation.

2. Design: The ejection port door is typically a hinged metal plate that can be opened and closed. When the gun is in use, the door remains open to allow spent cartridge cases to be ejected. When not in use, the door can be closed to protect the internals.

3. Location: The ejection port door is situated on the side of the MG 34 receiver, covering the opening through which spent cartridge cases are ejected.

4. Manual Operation: The ejection port door on the MG 34 is usually manually operated. The gunner opens and closes the door as needed, depending on whether the weapon is actively firing or not.

5. Maintenance: Keeping the ejection port and its cover clean is important for the reliable operation of the MG 34. Regular cleaning and maintenance help ensure that the door functions properly and that the ejection port remains clear of obstructions.
