The basics: you activate the trigger, the hammer strikes the firing pin, the firing pin strikes the primer on the cartridge, the bullet is propelled down the barrel and goes to wherever the sights were aimed the instant the shot broke.

Can you trace a bullet without a gun?
First, lets go over what happens when a bullet is fired from a firearm. 1) A cartridge (a bullet pressed into a metalic cartidge which contains smokeless gunpowder and a primer) is loaded into the firing chamber of the firearm. 2) When the trigger is pulled, a hammer hits a firing pin which impacts the primer on the cartridge. 3) The primer ignites the smokeless gunpowder in the cartridge which produces a high pressure explosion. 4) This explosion forces the bullet down the barrel of the firearm and toward the target. The barrel of most firearms contains groves which help stabilize the bullet in flight by imparting a spin. These groves leave marks on the bullet itself which can be compared with other bullets fired from the same firearm. In addition, the firing pin on the firearm leaves a "dimple" on the spent primer of the metallic cartridge. This can also be measured and compared to other cartridges from the same firearm.
