The MK200 does not eject shells as of writing this (IIRC it did at one point a while ago) but it does produce the "shells hitting the ground" sound. So either this is a bug and the shell sound is not what is intended, or the bug lies in the issue that there are no visible shells being ejected. I don't know what the Devs' intentions are for this gun's ammo, Caseless or Cased Telescoped, but I'd wager that it is using caseless ammo based on the model and the precedent of using caseless ammo for other weapons. Therefore the solution would be to remove the shell hitting the ground sound.

vanilla arma, only Link parts no cases:
modded arma with changes from table upper, Link parts and cases works as should:
The weapon is intended to be caseless. It's listed as caseless in the Field Manual, and the rounds visible on the belt on the weapon model are caseless rounds.
The magazines having "cased" in the classname goes back a long way, to when it was incorrectly described as firing cased ammunition. All other references were corrected, but it was impossible to change the magazine classnames, for backwards compatibility. It's intentional that they actually contain caseless rounds.
The only thing that needs to be fixed is the sound of cases hitting the ground - this sound should be removed. (Although you could say that it's actually the sound of the ejected link parts hitting the ground, and leave it in.)
