The intended purpose for the modern versions is mostly to murk animals with the least inconvenience possible for the user, I'd imagine the bolt action would partially be so you don't have to go picking up empty casings from the floor.

There's also pellet guns which need no cleanup at all.

As you can see in this video by the manufactuer, the VP9 does eject the empty casings when the bolt is pulled back:

Here's a pdf about the gun from b&t:

Not making any claims about whether or not this weapon was used, i think @[email protected] makes a very valid point about how difficult it would to obtain one and how easy it would be to track people who do that through legal channels. Just saying that the deny-defend-depose casings found would not contradict this story.

What I meant was that it makes it very easy to just manually eject into a designated bucket or something if you're going to be just straight up shooting animals in the head in some horrid room.

Compared to using just a suppressed automatic handgun where it ejects automatically.
