The CHAMBER of a firearm is the part which accepts the loaded cartridge or projectile and powder charge. It is usually found attached to the breech end of the barrel. It contains the explosion/ignition of the powder charge and allows the projectile to exit and travel into the barrel under the pressure from the expanding gasses from the ignited powder charge.
