Its a spring loaded hammer that hits a surface.
The surface is the back of the bullet.
The impact ignites the cap, which ignites the proppelant that launches the bullet.
Earlier guns had separate firing caps, propellent and projectile.

Like this .50 caliber

Before that the proplant needed to be lit using a spark from a flint or a flame from a fuse.

Then they took those knives and put them on sticks (spears), they miniaturized them on smaller sticks (arrows) added a bow or a woomera to propel it quickly :)


Wait, so next time you decide to use a gun to slice your bread, let me know :D

ya know once I had a stupid dream that a Boomerang (a CAC Boomerang plane) took off and flew like a boomerang like sideways and spinning and never got lost because it always came back to the airfield it originated from
