| To fire, the user pulls the trigger and a firing pin strikes the primer on the bullet in the gun's chamber - the recoil from the ensuing shot is used to push a series of bolt pieces backwards. The motion of these bolts pull the fired bullet out of the cartridge and eject it out, and then moves the next bullet from the magazine into the chamber, while also pushing the hammer backwards. | To fire, the user pulls the trigger, which releases the hammer, which strikes back of the firing pin - which hits the primer on the bullet in the gun's chamber. The recoil from the ensuing shot is used to push a series of bolt pieces backwards. The motion of these bolt pieces also pull the spent cartridge out towards the ejection port, then move the next bullet from the magazine into the chamber, while also pushing the hammer backwards for the next shot. |
