How does a gun without a cocking piece work or how is the firing pin sent forward on a machine gun?

Some firearms have in internal hammer. Others are "striker fired" weapons. A spring exerts force against the striker, which is held back by the sear. Pulling the trigger moves the sear, allowing the striker to be driven forward, pushing the firing pin forward.
The operation of a machinegun will depend on the design of the machinegun- there are several- many work as described above. At lease a few submachineguns do not HAVE a firing pin- there is a raised nipple on the face of the bolt. When the trigger is pulled, the bolt, which has been held open, is released, goes forward, and on contact fires the cartridge.

Why won't your double barrel hunter arnms fulton shotgun close?
Check to see if you have a firing pin stuck forward and the ejector is hitting it. If it is a "cock on close" hammerless, you could have something in the cocking mechanism jammed.
What does cocking a gun do?
When you charge a firearm, it cocks the hammer (or the striker, depending on the firearm) and readies it for firing.
What is meant by cocking of an ak47 rifle?
To cock an AK47 means to pull the handle back which sets the firing pin, so that when you pull the trigger the firing pin goes forward and detonates the primer thus firing a shot. The AK47 being a semiautomatic weapon ejects the fired (spent) shell, as the slide goes back to eject the shell sets the firing pin for the next round.
How does the de-cocking work on a firearm?
when a gun is cocked, the firing pin (the thing that hits the bullet to shoot it) is pulled back so when you pull the trigger the firing pin moves forwards and shoot the bullet de cocking is when you move the firing pin from the "ready position" to "relaxed position" where you can pull the trigger and nothing will happen

What is a machine gun?
A machine gun is basically an automatic rifle, it has working gas parts which means that the bolt can cock itself instead of a manual cock, therefore the gun can fire faster, if you watch a video of a machine gun you will see the working parts moving backwards and forwards on their own this is the automatic cocking hense why we say its "automatic". machine guns come in variations a proper machine gun is mounted a light machine gun is just a lighter mounted machine gun such as a GPMG or MINIME or SAW and then there are submachine guns which are a lot more compact. a firearm that has continuous firing when trigger is depressed and ceases firing when trigger is released or until ammo runs out.
