Rifles can work in different ways. Some rifles have what is called abolt action. A smallhandle is used to move a part of the rifle called a "bolt". By moving the bolt backward, then forward, allows the shooter put a bullet in thechamber ready for firing. It alsoejects any spent shells still in the chamber from any previously firedrounds. The rifle in the picture above is a bolt action. Some rifles aresemi-automatics, where a bullet is loaded (automatically) and fired each time the trigger is pulled.^[2] Some arefully automatic, which work like semi-automatics but allow the shooter to fire more than one bullet at a time by holding down the trigger.^[2] The automatic rifle stops firing when the trigger is released or it runs out of ammunition.^[2]
