Ammunition generally consists of 4 parts. The projectile: the bit that goes down the barrel to hit things. The case: A brass or steel container that holds the other components together and facilitates feeding into a firearm. The propellant: usually gunpowder that ignites to produce the pressure for firing the round, and The Primer: an impact-sensitive explosive that is used to ignite the powder.
