Rack the Gun in English means the same as cock the Gun in American English. I heard this said in the movie: 1917(2019)

Can anyone explain the meaning of "rack the gun" in the context as follows:

---
'First,' Marler began, 'you release the safety, then rack the gun which takes less than a second. Now you're ready to open fire. Press the trigger, rack the gun again, you are ready to fire again and another time and another.'
