During the priming stroke, the cylinder rotates half of the distance to the next chamber. If you look down the barrel (with safety goggles of course) you can see the dart isn't actually aligned with the opening of the barrel.

The trigger pull then advances the cylinder another half rotation so the dart is aligned with the barrel just before letting go of the plunger. After the shot, the empty chamber remains aligned with the barrel.

Fun fact: the StrongArm works in reverse. The priming action does nothing with the cylinder. The trigger pull fires the shot, then fully advances the cylinder to the next chamber.
