California Firearm Safety Certificate Practice Test 2025 – 400 Free Practice Questions to Pass the Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What part of the gun strikes the primer?

Hammer

Trigger

Bolt

Firing pin

When a gun is fired, the firing pin strikes the primer, which ignites the gunpowder and launches the bullet. The other options are incorrect because they are all parts that are involved in the action of firing a gun, but the actual striking of the primer is done by the firing pin. The hammer is cocked back and the trigger is pulled, but it is the firing pin that actually makes contact with the primer. The bolt is part of the mechanism that loads and ejects bullets, but it does not directly strike the primer.
