Which component is NOT a part of a modern firearm cartridge?

Bullet
Primer
Cartridge case
Firing pin

The correct answer is: Firing pin

The firing pin is not a part of a modern firearm cartridge. The firing pin is a component of the firearm itself, not the cartridge. When the trigger is pulled, the firing pin strikes the primer in the cartridge, igniting the gunpowder inside the cartridge case, which then propels the bullet out of the barrel. The bullet, primer, and cartridge case are all essential components of a modern firearm cartridge, with the firing pin being a component of the firearm responsible for igniting the primer.
