When the cartridge fires, it ignites gunpowder inside the cartridge case. Burning of the powder quickly produces a large volume of high pressure gas. This expanding gas pushes in all directions, but the bullet is the only part that can move. The expanding gas pushes the bullet through the barrel, and out of the gun.
