In a firearm cartridge, there are a few main pieces. The biggest piece you'll notice is referred to as the casing. On one end of the cartridge is the bullet and at the other is the rim of the casing. Inside that rim, there is a small piece called a "primer." Primers are made of a shock-sensitive explosive compound which is housed in a brass cradle. When the firing pin strikes the primer, it explodes, which ignites the smokeless powder.

What was a flint and why did soldiers need it?
Flint is a very hard type of stone. It was used, before the invention of gunpowder, to fire muskets. The soldier would strike a piece of steel with a piece of flint to produce a spark that would ignite the propellant in the musket. Of course, flint and steel were used in a similar way to start fires. Flint is used in cigarette lighters still today. The ridged wheel of steel is pressed and spun against the flint to produce a spark to ignite the wick.
