What is the purpose of the CO2 bullet discharger in muzzleloading firearms?

The CO2 bullet discharger is designed specifically to dislodge a stuck projectile within the barrel of a muzzleloading firearm. When a projectile becomes trapped due to residue buildup, incorrect loading, or any other obstruction, using the discharger can help apply a controlled amount of pressure to push the stuck bullet back out of the barrel without causing damage to the firearm. This is an important function, as it helps maintain the safety and functionality of the muzzleloader. It is not intended for cleaning the barrel, adjusting fittings, or securing bullets, which are addressed by other tools and practices in firearm maintenance.
