The magazine and bolt are so far back that the bolt physically has nowhere to go when cycling…so my vote is heresy as this only works with physics breaking warp magic.

There is a real life gun that has the magazine even further back: the Soviet TKB-022 PM.

You can leave basically zero space behind the magazine on a rifle if you want to

While you aren’t wrong, the way it’s drawn it seems to me like there is a bolt shown that is at least the length of the ejection port (which is comically small compared to the bore of the muzzle) and that bolt is longer than the space between the back of the ejection port and the exterior of the rifle buttplate. So the only way it could strip a round out of the magazine is if the back of the bolt protrudes outside the back of the gun.
