The hammer of a firearm is typically referred to simply as the "hammer." It is a crucial component that strikes the firing pin or directly ignites the cartridge's primer when the trigger is pulled, facilitating the discharge of the weapon. In some firearms, particularly revolvers, it may also be referred to as the "striker" if it functions in that capacity.
