when the ejection happens, doesn't the pilot and his parachute detach from the
seat at some point?

If so, the ejection seat and the pilot could end up landing quite far from one another.
If the rifle was still attached to the seat itself, the pilot would be unable to access it.

Would the rifle somehow be attached to the pilot, as in a dangling cargo bag on a long tether rope?
