Open Bolt?

I was reading about full auto rifles a bit and there is a lot of reference to "firing from an open bolt". Could someone explain this for me? As far as I know with my rifles the bolt must be closed to fire. What keeps the round chambered? Where the heck is the firing pin. Ive never fired a full auto so it makes no sense to me.
