This type of rifle uses a primer. It breaks open for easy insertion and removal of the primer. So you load black powder and a projectile into the barrel. Then open the action, insert the primer then close the action. Pull back the hammer and fire. The primer will ignite the black powder. Pretty simple when you get the hang of it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is a simple action, just release the action, load a round, close the action and fire. Repeat for the next shot. It is essentially the most basic type of firearm as far as shooting is concerned. Cheers and stay safe.
