What does it mean in Japanese 撃鉄落とす - Dictionary says it's something about hammer, but google shows me a gun. 落とせ - I've tried to check it also in the dictionary, but It's in the same text as the first one, and the meaning from dictionary don't fit. 刹那　空に　散り逝く定め　可能世界に解かれたクロニクルが今、幕を開けた。

A literal translation is "dropped the hammer" and it can be used as slang for "fire the gun". There is a component within a gun that is colloquially called the "hammer" which, when the trigger is pulled applies a shock to the cartridge to fire the bullet. So when you pull the trigger on a gun you are "dropping the hammer".
