Straight-pull bolt-actions differ from a conventional turn-pull bolt-action mechanisms in that the bolt can be cycled back and forward without rotating the handle and thus only a linear motion is required, as opposed to a traditional bolt-action where the user has to axially rotate the bolt in additional to the linear motions to perform chambering and primary extraction. The bolt locking of a straight-pull action is achieved differently without needing manual inputs, therefore the entire operating cycle only needs the shooter to perform two movements (pull back + push forward) instead of four (rotate up + pull back + push forward + rotate down), greatly increasing the gun's rate of fire.
