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
