At the end of its backward travel, the latch caused a bullet to travel from the magazine to the lifting tile, and then the reciprocal forward movement of the lever raised the tile putting the bullet in front of the chamber, towards where it was pushed in. battery by the closure. The last upward stroke of the lever again blocked the latch in the firing position.
