Ju 88 fired ammunition

A question.

A Ju 88 would normally have 7.92mm ammunition it it's guns.

When the gun is fired, what happens to the casings do the end up in the aircraft or is there a way they would be dropped by the aircraft during firing?

The ejected empty case would drop into catch chute 14 and drop into container 13.
