The primer in a bullet contains a small amount of explosive material that is ignited when struck by the firing pin. This explosion creates a flame that ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge, causing it to burn rapidly and create gas pressure that propels the bullet out of the firearm.

How is bullet propelled?
A bullet is propelled by the controlled explosion of gunpowder in the cartridge. When the gun's firing pin strikes the primer, it ignites the gunpowder, which rapidly expands to create gas pressure that propels the bullet down the barrel and out of the gun.
How does a firearm work?
A firearm works by using a controlled explosion in the chamber to propel a projectile, typically a bullet, out of the barrel at high speed. When the trigger is pulled, it releases the firing pin which strikes the primer on the bullet casing, igniting the gunpowder and creating the pressure needed to propel the bullet forward.
What is the force needed to to fire a 9mm bullet?
The force required to fire a 9mm bullet is generated by the gunpowder in the cartridge. When the firing pin strikes the primer, the gunpowder ignites, producing expanding gases that propel the bullet down the barrel. This force is typically measured in pounds or newtons.
How bullets work?
Bullets are propelled out of a firearm by the expanding gases generated through the ignition of gunpowder in the cartridge. The bullet travels down the barrel of the gun due to the force generated by the exploding gunpowder. The size, shape, and velocity of the bullet determine its trajectory and impact upon hitting a target.
How much pressure on a bullet primer to make it go off?
The pressure required to ignite a bullet primer typically ranges from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is generated by the firing pin striking the primer cup, causing it to crush the priming compound and ignite, subsequently firing the cartridge.
Is a bullet a bullet if there is no powder and no primer present?
Yes. The bullet is only the projectile. A bullet with case, powder, and primer is a cartridge. A cartridge without powder or primer is called a dummy cartridge because it will fit into a firearm but will not fire. Dummies are used for non firing training with weapons, and for display purposes.

What hits the primer of a cartridge and initiates firing the bullet?
Firing Pin
What will happen if you hit a bullet with a hammer?
It may ignite if you hit the primer.
How do you remove the primer from a bullet?
The term is cartridge- that is a cartridge case, powder, primer, and bullet (that's the part that comes out of the barrel) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to remove a live primer from a loaded cartridge. Once the primer has been fired, reloaders use a tool called a deprimer to push the old primer out from the inside- but pushing on a LIVE primer will almost certainly make it fire. Very unsafe, please do not fool with that.
How do hammer less semiautomatic handguns work?
Handguns work by having some mechanism hit a sensitive primer to initiate a control deflagration and shoot a bullet. If a handgun doesn't have an external hammer that either strikes a firing pin or the primer directly, it will have an internal hammer--called a striker.
What are the 4 components in a pistol cartridge?

What are the four main parts of a rifle cartrige?
