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
