When operating an assault rifle, and you shoot out every round it has, when you put another clip in, you have to slide that thing back for the bullet to enter the chamber. What is this action called?

After you put a "CLIP" in your hair too hold it back from getting into your eyes you can then, pick up the "Semi-automatic" rifle or handgun and load a "Magazine" into the receiver or magwel. Pulling the "Slide or Action" rearward cambers a cartridge.

Locking is putting the Magazine into the rifle, Loading is pulling back the charging handle.

DJ's right as usual.
The part you're speaking of is the "charging handle"....it's a small grip that connects to the "bolt carrier" and pulls it backward....and by pulling it backward and letting it go forward to chamber a round, you are "charging the rifle". It literally means there is a charge of powder in the chamber at that point.

The action is called cocking the gun. Once you reload a new magazine you have to cock the slide so it will pick up a round and load it into the chamber. When you pull the slide back it is cocking the gun.

It's a magazine, not a clip. A clip is something different.
The part you are looking for is typically called a "charging handle" and many people still call it a "bolt".

On the range they say "lock and load". You can say charge the weapon.

I guess technically it is:'Retracting the the Bolt'
