The hammer is a part of a firearm that is used to strike the percussion cap/primer, or a separate firing pin, [1] to ignite the propellant and fire the projectile.
Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...
