The ejection port cover on the M3 is closed - I wonder if this photo is staged?

Why would it be open? It just means he hasn't fired it in a while. Prisoner escort doesn't mean execute. an open port meant snagging etc... one closes the port for escort duty. Any manual of arms would dictate closing the port when able. This man obviously hasn't bean through a firefight in the last 10 minutes. In fact,that seems to be his job, escorting valuable prisoners to HQ.

With respect to the last comment, I think I am going to have to side with Bill here. On the M3, the ejection port cover was also the safety; with the cover closed, the bolt is held back and the weapon will not fire. The weapon as seen here is not in a ready-to-fire state.
