They all vary to some degree, but in general, when the bolt is operated, the firing pin is caught and held behind a sear, and the firing pin spring is compressed as the bolt closes. When the trigger is pulled, it causes the sear to be pulled down, releasing the firing pin, which is driven forward by the spring, striking the primer of the cartridge, firing it.

How do you fix the trigger on a 12-shot pump action air rifle and how does the mecanism work?
The pump is a pull-down located on the barrel, and the 12-shot loader is a cylinder integrated in the gun just past the trigger mechanism and before the barrel. I've tried dismantling it, but to no avail. the air cilinder (located on the barrel) does not seem to touch any of the springs associated with the firing/trigger mechanism. Blocked? or a missing part that fits into the air cylinder If someone can explain how the mechanism works i can see if everythings there. thank you.
How does the firing mechanism of the of assault rifle work?
Assault rifle' is a political term regarding cosmetic appearances rather than an objective definition of firearms class.

How does a Bullpup rifle work?
The exact same way a normal rifle does, except that the trigger is typically attached to the firing mechanism by some sort of linkage - this is also the reason bullpup rifles tend to be cited as having really jerky trigger pulls, although this has been rectified in some rifles through the use of a free floating linkage. The primary difference (and, indeed the very definition of what "Bullpup" means) is that a Bullpup's action (bolt/firing pin, breach, et al) is located behind (i.e. closer to the rear) the trigger. Normal rifles also require a linkage between the action and trigger, but this linkage can be extremely short, and thus, less susceptible to becoming loose or stuck, which can be the cause of the "jerkiness" of many Bullpup weapon's trigger pulls.
