Muskets were muzzle loading firearms- MOST with smooth bores. They used gunpowder poured own the barrel, and a lead ball that was pushed down the barrel with a ramrod.

The powder was sometimes wrapped in thin paper tubes (cartridges) that could be bitten open, and powder dumped down the barrel. Check Wikipedia for the term Minie Ball for more information.

How does a bullet come out of an ak47?

When the firing pin strikes the cartridge primer, it ignites the gunpowder. The bullet is separated from the cartridge casing, and is pushed through the barrel by these expanding gasses which are a result of the gunpowder combustion. At one point in the barrel, there is a port which goes from the barrel to the gas piston. After the bullet passes this point, gases go into this port, driving back the piston, which is connected to the bolt carrier. As the bolt carrier is pushed back, it extracts the spent casing from the chamber, ejects it, and then, as it returns for a forward position, it catches the rim of the next round in the magazine, and pushes it into the chamber. Then the cycle is repeated.
