Best Answer

When you pull the trigger,it releases the firing pin in the bolt and allows the firing pin to rush forward and strike the rim of the .22cal cartridge setting off the primer mixture found along the inside of the rim in the cartridge,This fires the primer and creates a flame that ignites the powder found inside the cartridge which ignites and burns creating pressure which propels the bullet from the case and pushes it down the barrel of the firearm and out the bore.
