Maybe. Possibly it's something where the bolt doesn't travel back and forth, but rather it rotates or moves up and down (though there's not much space in there for that either).
Or Hirano doesn't know that much about guns and didn't think about where the bolt would have to go. If you look at Alucard's guns, there seems to be no indication of any kind of locking, the barrels don't move at all, almost like they would be gigantic blowback pistols, feasibly some sort of delayed blowback, but that's never stated or made obvious anywhere.

Hellsing isn't a particularly grounded series, so it's not exactly important.
