Because some states require test firing of newly manufactured guns before they can be legally sold (Mass. for one). It's nothing more than a simple proof of function. Regardless of what the "tin-foil hat mafia" wants you to believe. No state pays to have an electron microscope record bullet markings to be put into some secret file archive or database.

Why do the bullet and the capsule drop at the same time when the gun fires?
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.
Can police trace the shell from a rts zk s-s12 suppressed shotgun?
"They could match extractor marks on the shell, yes." If they don't have the gun and it's registered: Highly unlikely, unless it being registered they also get a spent shell casing with the extractor marks and firing pin indent on the firing cap. Also, if you don't "police" your brass, they have the shell casings at the scene, where there is likely a casing with your finger prints (loading the firearm) and possibly DNA (sweat or blood on the casing). Realistically though, if it's a standard shotgun, smooth bore barrel, and you shoot rifled slugs or buckshot and leave no evidence of the shell casings behind, they would have a hard time matching it to just the projectile part of it.

What does a gun extractor do?
The extractor removes the spent shell after the gun has fired. I am sure most people think of the extractor as part of a gun. That may well be true. Keep in mind that the extractor also could be a man. In that case the extractor would be part of a gun crew.
