This is not exactly the model and brand you need, but i guess this should be like that, with a cap between the striker and the anvil (the false primer in white metal)

These are Mulberry Field "Real Look" cartridges, the .45ACP version would be better suited to MGC models. They aren't, unfortunately, suitable for Marushin models.

I even tested a brand new one... these cartridges are a different type than the ones that came with the model gun (I really thought I was going to receive the same ones ) so I load them like I am supposed to and they do not ignite! this new type of cartridge has a stationary firing pin as opposed to the other one which moves...I REALLY hope the kind I just ordered can be used with my gun, here's a picture of both disassembled

The one with the removable firing pin block fires, the other one with the silver firing pin doesn't

You've received cartridges for the "side-fire" version of Marushin's Colt. As JohnnyV has said, you need to specify "Centre-Fire" cartridges when you order. Perhaps you might be able to ask the place you bought the new ones from if they'll exchange them for Centre-Fire versions?

Check your model's cartridges against these:
