Of course they have firing pins-thats what makes the cap go boom

The hammer (either on a inline or side hammer gun) has a FLAT spot that smacks the cap onto the nipple causing the gun to fire.NO FIRING PIN on a non primer gun The only muzzlaoders with firing pins are set up for a 209 primer ignition system and not legal for Washington.

If your hammer is "pointed" it's probably meant for 209 primers.
The hammer is the firing pin-if the hammer didnt have a pin how would it fire Of course it is not a tradition firing pin

I am wrong its not a standard firing pin but does the same thing
Thought I would see if I was as dumb as Meats said I am. Typed in Knight Bighorn firing pin and seems like I am not the only stupid guy around Maybe Meats should research his mouth before it spouts off. Remember engage brain before shifting mouth into gear

I am wrong its not a standard firing pin but does the same thing I already did my point was is there is a pin or tit or bump or whatever you want to call it on the hammer and when it strikes the cap it fires :dunno
My Knight Bighorn came with a pointed FIRING PIN And yes arrows are bullets. They are shot from Indian rifles .........right
