Instead of powder gases pushing the bullet, a special piston wedges the bullet in the cartridge case and locks the powder gases inside after giving it an initial speed. After the chamber and bolt box have rolled back, due to depressurization of the barrel, there is no reduced pressure in the bore behind the bullet (powder gases don’t leave the cartridge case). When the bullet takes off, atmospheric air rushing into the barrel will make additional noise (pop) due to the reduced pressure behind the bullet.
