Primer being struck by firing pin causes fire which ignites the gunpowder which burns and produces gas which forces the projecitle down the bore of the weapon.
How does a rifle primer function?
It has a small amount of material that is sensitive to shock. When a firing pin strikes the primer, it ignites.
How does primer ignites powder?

What makes a gun fire?
Firing pin strikes primer, primer ignites powder in case, expanding gases push projectile down the bore.
How does a gun fire a bullet?
Firing pin strikes primer, primer ignites powder, powder burns and turns into gas, gas expands and pushes projectile out of the barrel
What causes the ignition of the primer.?
With firearms, the primer contains an impact sensitive explosive, such as sodium azide. The firing pin strikes the primer, crushing it, and the pellet of explosive. The resulting explosion serves to ignite the gunpowder in the cartridge.

What is the sequence of events when a shotgun fires?
When a shotgun fires, the trigger is pulled, causing the firing pin to strike the primer of the shotgun shell. The primer ignites, creating a spark that ignites the gunpowder in the shell. The gunpowder rapidly burns, producing gases that propel the wad, shot, or slug out of the barrel of the shotgun.
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 difference between centerfire and rimfire rifles?
A center-fire cartridge has a primer on the base or bottom, as the firing pin or hammer strikes the primer-cap it ignites the powder through a hole ( or two holes) inside the cartridge. A rim-fire has a flat metal rim on the base and no primer (such as a .22cal LR.)
