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.
