At the start of the firing sequence, the bolt is held to the rear. Pulling the trigger permits the bolt to move forward, stripping a cartridge from the magazine, chambering, firing, extracting and ejecting it. A closed bolt gun starts the firing squence with a round already chambered, and the bolt closed on the cartridge. The M3 Greasegun was an open bolt, the Thompson SMG a closed bolt.

How does a sub machine gun work?
basically like a normal machine gun its just smaller for better maneuverability. A submachine gun works by cycling the bolt carrier rearwards to cock the weapon. When the bolt carrier is released by depressing the trigger, it moves forward chambering a round, locking the bolt and then firing. The recoil from the round unlocks the bolt and pushes the bolt carrier rearwards again which strips the round from the chamber and ejects it from the weapon.
