When Ripley asks Gorman "What do those pulse rifles fire ?", Gorman replies "10 millimetre explosive-tipped caseless. Standard light armour-piercing round.". Later, in the sequence in the air-ducts, as Vasquez is firing back along the duct to defend their retreat, empty shell casings can clearly be seen being ejected from the breech of weapon onto the duct wall as she shoots. Caseless ammunition, as the name suggests, doesn't have a shell casing to eject; it's an integral part of the ammunition and either exits the barrel along with the round itself or is consumed by the act of firing. This is because the the marine's prop weapons were made by combining modified Thompson SMGs and Benelli shotguns, both of which use conventional "cased" ammunition.
