How does the gun powder ignite by getting pushed in?
It doesn't. Gunpowder is ignited by the primer. The primer contains a tiny spot of sensitive explosive that detonates when crushed by the firing pin. The heat from that explosion ignites the gunpowder.It does not. In a firearm cartridge, the firing pin crushes the primer of the cartridge. This contains a very small amount of impact sensitive explosive. It explodes, and sends a small jet of flame through the flash hole of the cartridge into the gunpowder, igniting it.

What part of a cartridge explodes when struck by the firing pin?
When a cartridge is struck by the firing pin, it is the primer that ignites and creates an explosion. The primer contains a sensitive explosive compound that, when hit, produces a small explosion that ignites the gunpowder within the cartridge case. This ignition then generates gas pressure that propels the bullet out of the barrel.

Where do we find the priming mixture in a typical center fire cartridge.?
In a typical centerfire cartridge, the priming mixture is located within the primer, which is seated at the base of the cartridge case.

This design ensures reliable ignition and is a key feature of centerfire ammunition.

How do you get primers in Fallout New Vegas for PS3?

Rifle, Shotgun, or .50 MG) or you can buy them from various vendors. The Gun Runners have it almost all the time.
How do you remove a misfire from a semi auto pistol barrel?
A misfire is a cartridge that fails to fire- at all. Operating the action of the pistol by hand will normally extract the misfired cartridge. However, if you are using misfire to mean a "squib" load, that is different. A squib happens when the primer fires, but ignites none or only a small amount of the powder- and the bullet is pushed out into the barrel- and stops there. THAT needs to go to a gunsmith, who will use non-damaging tools to push the bullet back down the barrel and out. Do NOT attempt to shoot a stuck bullet out of the barrel- will not end well.
