 Pinfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pinfire firearm cartridge is an obsolete type of brass cartridge in which the priming compound is ignited by striking a small pin which protrudes radially from just above the base of the cartridge.
Pinfire became obsolete once reliable rimfire and centre fire cartridges became available because without a pin which needed aligning in the slot in the chamber wall they were quicker to load.
The pinfire concept was also only really suitable for single-shot or multiple-barrelled firearms and revolvers as the pin would have complicated any mechanism for feeding from a magazine.
