In response, she sets an empty brass casing on the little counter that blocks the targets from the shooter, and then reaches into a leather pouch to pull out a fresh cartridge. "In principle, it is very simple. Explosive charge is loaded into casing, then bullet."
She then turns both cartridges on to the side so he can see the impact in the spent casing. "Reaction is primed through striking brass casing with a small hammer inside the weapon. Resultant heat sets off the explosive charge, launching bullet towards target at high velocity."
She takes a breath. "There are a lot of particulars and problems that arise through it, but this is the principle."
