Best Answer

Machine guns use several different mechanisms that enable them to shoot rapidly. One type of mechanism uses the recoil from the cartridge to cycle the bolt backwards and load another cartridge on the return stroke. Another mechanism uses an electric motor to load and unload cartridges, and rotate the barrels
