Summary

Description
English: #Ready to fire position. Bolt is locked to barrel, both are fully forward.
  1. Upon firing, the firearm recoils backwards into the shooter's body. The inertial mass remains stationary, compressing a spring. The bolt remains locked to the barrel, which in turn is rigidly attached to the frame.
  2. The compressed spring forces the inertial mass rearwards until it transfers its momentum to the bolt.
  3. The bolt moves to the rear, ejecting the fired round and compressing the return spring.
  4. The bolt returns to battery under spring force, loading a new round and locking into place.
  5. The shooter recovers from the shot, moving the firearm forward into position for the next shot.
