All machine guns follow a cycle of steps.
1. Pulling the bolt rearward(manually or electrically). It stays there until the trigger is pressed making the bolt carrier move forward.
2. Trigger activation makes the bolt carrier move forward, chambering a round and locking the bolt.
3. Firing the round by striking or electrically activating the primer.
4. Unlocking the bolt and moving the bolt carrier rearwards which unchambers the casing and ejects it out of the weapon.
5. Cycling the next round into the chamber via spring pressure from a magazine or through a cam mechanism from a belt or box.
