Gee...don't y'all think they might have a mechanical machine to do it?

You don't need a live round to drop test a gun. A blank or just an
empty primed case will work just fine. (the latter being the easiest
and cheapest).
I also doubt this is a machine. I imagine there is a protocol they
follow (height, surface, angle etc). They just have some government
apparatchik sitting on a stool dropping guns all day.
