Firing pin is released by the trigger, strikes the primer, causing it to explode. Primer ignites gunpowder, causing it to burn rapidly, producing a large volume of gas. The hot expanding gasses push the bullet through the barrel at high speed.

Why is Chang afraid to operate or give medical advice on Grey's Anatomy?

because in the season finale last year she had a gun held to her head while she was operating on Dr. Shepherd who was shot. The gun man told her to stop and let him die while Meredith (his wife and her best friend) was standing right there, so she unhooked the heart monitor while he wasn't looking and when the gun man left the room she continued to operate. Derek lived but now she is traumatized to operate because the gun man shot his gun a couple of times and then held it to her head and forced her to stop.
