The term "open bolt" refers to the action of the weapon being held to the rear of the weapon when it is ready to fire. When the trigger is pulled on an open bolt firearm, the bolt and action slam forward which feeds a round into the magazine; the resulting energy of the shot causes the bolt to be forced backwards, ejecting the spent cartridge and completing the feeding cycle.
