Best Answer

An auto loading rifle uses part of the energy from the cartridge firing. In some cases, it uses the recoil (push) to drive back a bolt held in place by springs. With others, a small amount of the hot gasses that push the bullet out of the barrel are used to push back part of the mechanism. Springs then push the mechanism forward, loading a fresh cartridge.
