My late father had many a tale of spotting the squaddies with the ends of their left little fingers missing, who you knew hadn't listened to the instructors 
That's why they lengthened the barrel shrough on the Mk3, and even added a little curved metal lug ahead of the ejection port to stop errant little fingers sliding into the port. |
That's how I held it when shooting.
