When the firing pin strikes the cartridge primer, it ignites the gunpowder. The bullet is separated from the cartridge casing, and is pushed through the barrel by these expanding gasses which are a result of the gunpowder combustion. At one point in the barrel, there is a port which goes from the barrel to the gas piston. After the bullet passes this point, gases go into this port, driving back the piston, which is connected to the bolt carrier. As the bolt carrier is pushed back, it extracts the spent casing from the chamber, ejects it, and then, as it returns for a forward position, it catches the rim of the next round in the magazine, and pushes it into the chamber. Then the cycle is repeated.
