Soviet manual also show this information. But according my knowledge, PTRD typically don't ejected empty case after shot. IIRC PTRD typically only partially unlocking bolt after shot. Even oryginal movies from WWII show that PTRD don't ejected empty case automatically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1zl4S4t7UoAKMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038804619662765120noreply@blogger.com
