Anyone own a FAL rifle? How does it lock?

I'm trying to understand how it differs from an AK. It looks like the piston is a separate piece from the bolt carrier. How does it lock? I guess I'm getting dull in my old age, because I've looked at the diagrams, and I don't quite get it.

On an AK, the bolt rotates to lock the breech shut. how does it happen in a FAL?

Sorry for the dumb question.
