4. the powder charge
which when ignited by
the primer flash, is
converted to heated
gas under high
pressure and propels
the bullet or shot
charge through the
barrell and out into the
target sometimes called
“propellant” or powder
charge
a. Bullet

mixture of chemical
compound, which when
hit or struck by the firing
pin would ignite. Such
action is called
“percussion”.
