The bolt is in the closed (forward) position when the weapon fires, as opposed to an open bolt, in which the bolt is in the open (rearward) position when the weapon fires. Rifles are typically closed bolt weapons, whereas belt fed machine guns usually fire from the open bolt (one exception to this is the belt fed machine guns based on the HK91/93 platform, such as the HK11 and HK21).

What is better. a closed bolt design or a open bolt?

The choice between a closed bolt and an open bolt design depends on the intended use of the firearm. Closed bolt designs generally offer greater accuracy and are more suitable for precision shooting, as they allow for better control and stabilization of the round before firing. On the other hand, open bolt designs tend to have a simpler mechanism and can be more reliable in adverse conditions, making them popular for automatic weapons. Ultimately, the "better" option is contingent on the specific requirements of the user.
