[QUOTE="Robert Le Mal, post: 117367, member: 2546"] this system is referred to as "pin fire" it's a sort of in between stage moving from purcusion caps loaded onto an external nipple to things like rim fire or centre fire cartridges. the rifle or shotgun hammer drives the pin into the base of the cartridge where it strikes a detonator/percussion cap...and then the main charge goes off, expansion of gases and boom! Or something like that. Nice find. [/QUOTE]
