What is necessary for me to be able to open the above? Have seen others like this and been unable to see what is contained although I have followed all instructions, sorry for being such a dummy but thanks for the help.

The striker is the firing pin. It has a spring around its shaft. As you pull the trigger, the striker is pulled back against the spring and at some point released to fly forward and ignite the round. It's basically just like a ZIP gun if you know what I mean.
