The truth of the matter is a bullet does not fire.The cartridge case that holds the bullet fires when the trigger is pulled.this releases the firing pin which strikes the primer on the end of the cartridge case.The resulting ignition of the primer ignites the powder charge inside the case.This create,s a gas which expands the brass cartridge case and create,s pressure which is the driving force behind the bullet,which push,s the projectile down the bore of the rifle and out the muzzle.

What do you mean by 32mm in a pistol?

I think you mean .32 caliber, not mm. It means that the gun fires a bullet that is about 32/100ths of an inch in diameter. A 9mm fires a bullet 9mm in diameter- or about .35 inches in diameter. A 32 mm bullet would be about the size of big (D cell) flashlight battery!
