So far, I've chalked it up to the pleasure some get of watching a living thing come to pieces when its shot.

I'll kill it myself without a problem. I just figured a gunshot to a creature that small would yield more bits and feathers than else, especially since the eatin' part is most likely where the shot will hit since it's biggest. When you kill a cornish hen for eating, you don't blast it apart. You generally wring neck or remove head, which leaves the whole eating part delightfully intact.
