It is a single shot pistol with an automatic opening bolt, much like a semi-auto pistol, but it stays open after every shot. This allows the shooter to reload and then using the bolt release to close the bolt. To fire the weapon make sure the safety is off and squeeze the trigger. It has the look and shape of a Ruger semi-auto pistol
