Closed bolt A semi or full - automatic firearm which is said to fire from a closed bolt is one where , when ready to fire , a round is in the chamber and the bolt and working parts are forward . When the trigger is pulled the firing pin or striker fires the round , the action is cycled by the energy of the shot sending the bolt to the rear which extracts and ejects the empty cartridge case , the bolt then goes forward feeding a fresh round from the magazine into the chamber , ready for the next shot . When World War I era machine guns were being tried for use on aircraft , the Lewis gun was found not to be usable with a gun synchronizer for forward firing through the propeller , due to its firing cycle starting with an open bolt . The Maxim style arms used by both the Allies , as the Vickers machine gun and Central Powers , as both the LMG 08 and LMG 08 / 15 Spandau gun , and Parabellum LMG 14 gun , all fired with a cycle starting with a closed bolt , and since the bullet firing from the gun started the firing cycle , it was much easier to set the synchronizer to only trigger the gun when the propeller ' s blade was not in front of the gun .
