How does a bolt action sniper rifle work?

January 9th, 2010 by eranio

Just as the title asks, how does a bolt action sniper rifle work? I am mostly focusing on how the trigger hits the bullet even with the cocking stuff in the way. If you could post a link to an article or video that explains it, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
And for anyone thinking it’s illegal to discuss it, it’s not. It is only illegal to actually make a gun without a license to produce and sell firearms.

    You press a button on your video game controller and it sends a electronic signal to the game to fire.

    The same way any bolt action rifle works… seeing as how there really is no such thing as a "sniper" rifle.

    Oh… and everything you think you know about rifles… is wrong. Learn to use Google and you can teach yourself a lot.

    The trigger releases the cocking stuff so it can hit the firring pin, which in turn hits the center primer of the cartridge.

    There’s a complete schematic inside your game manual.

    Sniper – is a highly skilled military marksman.

    In the hands of a highly skilled military marksman all rifles are a sniper rifle.

    In your hands – it is just a rifle.

    People who use the word ‘sniper’ are considered idiots by the shooting community.

    If you cannot learn to speak like an intelligent shooter – you will never become one.

    You push the little A button on the fire control pad. A radio signal is sent to the receiver. The receiver sends the data to the controller. The controller coordinates the other controls with the display and makes an awesome flash of light and a boom sound and instructs the transmitter to send a signal to the control pad to make a vibrating motion. Then you get another point. I don’t know why, but a lot of the simulated guns on games are reversed from what they are in real life. I have never seen a real AK-47 with the bolt handle on the left side.

    On my Lee Enfield, you lift the bolt and slide the bolt back. When you run the bolt forward, a round is taken from the magazine and carried into the chamber; this action cocks the weapon.

    After firing, the bolt is again lifted and run back; this ejects the fired round and starts the process anew.
