When the trigger is pulled, the hammer holding a piece of flint snaps forward. The flint strikes a piece of steel, creating a spark. The spark drops into a little cup filled with gunpowder. There's a narrow hole at the bottom of the cup, connecting it with the space behind the bullet where there's also gunpowder. The Powder in the cup ignites, and the fire spreads into the space behind the bullet. The expanding gases from the burning gunpowder push the bullet out of the barrel.
