Wikipedia definition
1. Bolt (firearms)A bolt is a mechanical part of a firearm that blocks the rear of the chamber while the propellant burns. In manually operated firearms, such as bolt-action, lever-action, and pump-action rifles and shotguns, the bolt is held fixed by its locking lugs during firing, forcing all the expanding gas forward. In an automatic or semi-automatic firearm, the bolt cycles back and forward between each shot, propelled by recoil or expanding gas (back) or the recoil spring (forward).
