The rotating bolt must rotate in order for the bolt to lock into the chamber. When the bolt comes forward in the rifle, it strips a round from the magazine and pushes it into the chamber. It rotates to secure the locking lugs for a proper seal. Upon firing, gas is vented from the barrel, back into the bolt group, pushing the bolt backwards (simultaneously ejecting the spent brass case)
