Firing Mechanism: The Pioneer rifle utilizes a bolt action along with a manual or magazine feed. When the bolt is pulled back, a round is fed from the magazine into the chamber, or a round is inserted through the breach. When the bolt is slid forward the chamber is sealed and the internal hammer mechanism is readied. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes the firing pin of the bullet. This results in the firing pin igniting the bullet's charge, thus causing a gas expansion reaction which propels the bullet down barrel.
