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 purpose of the primer in the low explosive train?
To initiate the igniter
What is a 209 primer?
Well......... As far as I know, a 209 primer isn't a paint primer at all. It is an ignition source for the powder in a bullet. There are a few different types, 209 being one of the most common. They're most commonly used in shotgun shells, and black powder rifles.
Can you use drywall sealer-primer to prime your exterior trim?
NO! An exterior rated primer must be used. Plus, choose a primer that is recommended for the surface you plan on painting.
What primer to use on spackle?
Primers of all sorts are fine over shackle. The most commonly used and available is latex primer.
Th mixture of explosive chemicals housed within a bullet is called what?
The mixture of explosive chemicals housed within a bullet is called the propellant. This propellant is ignited by the primer when the trigger is pulled, causing the bullet to be propelled out of the firearm.
What is the name of the device in a firearm with a bullet and an explosive charge?
I believe you are referring to "cartridge." The cartridge is the entire assembly of the bullet, primer, powder charge, and casing.
How does the primer work on a bullet?
The primer in a bullet contains a small amount of explosive material that is ignited when struck by the firing pin. This explosion creates a flame that ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge, causing it to burn rapidly and create gas pressure that propels the bullet out of the firearm.
How a bullet is being shot out of the barrel?
A cartridge consists of a casing (shell) with a built-in primer, a propellant (gun powder) and a projectile/bullet. When the trigger on a gun is pulled, it releases the hammer which strikes the high-explosive primer. The tiny explosion ignites the low-explosive propellant. If the low-explosive propellant was made of the same high-explosive stuff as the primer, the gun would blow apart. As the propellant expands inside the casing, the pressure builds to a point where the projectile/bullet can no longer hold on to the casing. The bullet goes the only way that it can which is down the barrel of the gun. As the bullet moves down the barrel, tiny spiral grooves in the barrel cause the bullet to spin like a spiral pass thrown in rugby or America football in order to make the bullet fly true. When you see the flash of sparks come out of the barrel, that is the remnant of the propellant being burnt after the bullet has left the barrel and is on its way to the target.
Is a bullet a bullet if there is no powder and no primer present?
Yes. The bullet is only the projectile. A bullet with case, powder, and primer is a cartridge. A cartridge without powder or primer is called a dummy cartridge because it will fit into a firearm but will not fire. Dummies are used for non firing training with weapons, and for display purposes.

Is gunpowder in bullets?
It would probably help to define a few things.A "bullet" is only the projectile which comes out of the muzzle of the barrel and is propelled at the target.Gun powder is the propellant.The primer is a tiny explosive charge which ignites the gun powder.The case is the cylindrical object which holds the primer, powder, and bullet.A cartridge is the assembled case, primer, powder, and bulletPeople frequently say "bullet" when they really mean "cartridge".Cartridges contain gun powder, bullets generally do not.
Is ammunition an explosive?
Yes. It contains powder which is an explosive. If you burn a Shotgun round or pistol/rifle cartridges, they it would explode. Powder is a propellant that explodes in a 'shell' in the 'chamber' of a firearm. This propels the projectile (bullet, shot). This controlled explosion is set of by the firing pin of a firearm hitting the 'primer'.
