Se efectúa una presión sobre la cola del disparador y se activan los mecanismos internos que hacen que el martillo vaya hacia su posición más retrasada, comprimiendo el muelle o resorte real, para luego liberarse de la acción del disparador y desplazarse violentamente hasta impactar en la parte posterior de la aguja percutora, la cual impacta en la cápsula fulminante iniciando el proceso de disparo. 4, record 5, Spanish, - percutor

[...] l'air primaire refroidi dirigé sur une personne donnera naissance à un courant d’air très désagréable. La circulation secondaire induite par l'air primaire, toutefois, peut aussi produire des courants d’air, si la température de la pièce est plutôt basse. Il est à noter que l'écoulement d’air induit qui amorce la circulation d’air secondaire est dans la même direction que l'air primaire, lorsqu'il est rapproché mais en direction opposée lorsqu'il est plus éloigné. On peut citer comme exemple, ce phénomène d’écoulement inversé, accompagné de courants d’air importants, les sources primaires chaudes provenant de chaufferettes d’automobiles ou d’aérothermes muraux placés près du plancher où la température de l'air est généralement au-dessous du niveau de confort, même si l'air primaire est assez chaud. 2, record 10, French, - air%20primaire
