Only until it is fired
With the advent of machinery in the 18th century, inventors were able to mechanize the process of shooting--allowing semi-automatic & automatic weapons to be developed. Most automatic weapons have the following cycle: 1- Firing (firing pin strikes primer, propellant burns forcing projectile down the barrel), 2- Extraction (spent brass casing is extracted from the chamber), 3- Ejection (spent brass casing is ejected clear of the weapon), 4- Chambering (a fresh round is fed into the weapon's chamber) The weapon cycles automatically. If only one bullet is fired per every pull of the trigger, the weapon is said to be semi-automatic. If more than one bullet is fired with every pull of the trigger, it is considered automatic.
The weapon may not be a semi or an automatic one.
A bullet is a single projectile designed to be fired from a firearm, so it cannot fire other bullets. Instead, each bullet is loaded into a cartridge, which is then chambered in the firearm. When the firearm is discharged, only one bullet is fired at a time unless it is a semi-automatic or automatic weapon designed to fire multiple rounds in rapid succession. In those cases, the firearm still fires one bullet per trigger pull or cycle.
The lab will compare markings on the bullet with test fires from the suspect weapon. They use a comparison microscope to analyze striations and grooves left on the bullet. If there's a match in these markings, it suggests the bullet came from the suspect weapon.
Your question is ambiguous, assuming by capsule you mean the shell casing then this is also not the case in every weapon. Shell casings are ejected when the weapon is fired if it is an automatic or semi-automatic weapon. Revolvers, for instance, do not eject the spent cartridges.

Rifle: Point weapon at the floor, and if it has a detachable magazine, detach it. Open the bolt, and inspect any integral interior magazine to be sure it has no rounds in it. Check the chamber to be sure it is empty. Leave bolt or action open. The weapon is now cleared. Handgun, revolver: Point the weapon at the floor. If it has an exterior hammer,make sure the hammer is down, or in "safety" position. Check that all cylinders are empty. If the cylinder does not swing out, each chamber must be checked individually. Leave cylinder in swung-out position if the weapon has one. The weapon is cleared. Handgun, Automatic: Point the weapon at the floor. Make sure hammer is down, if not, GENTLY lower it, keeping weapon pointed at the floor. Eject magazine, making sure it is empty. Open slide to "lock position, and inspect the chamber to be sure it is empty. Leave magazine out, and slide open. Weapon is cleared.
