No, it cannot. The maximum amount of heat that a human body can generate at the skin level is around 110 degrees fahrenheit. This is far below the temperature range which would cause spontaneous ignition of the propellant in a modern bullet. Even black powder won't ignite at that low a temperature.
It is possible for a bullet to discharge by the force of a body falling on it, but that is extremely unlikely.
(and remember, when you say "bullet", what you really should say is "cartridge" - the "bullet" is only the lead/steel portion being expelled out the front, while "cartridge" includes the brass body and propellant as well).

How does a bullet become hot?
Mostly, because of the heat of the gasses which fire it. I think air friction and barrel friction play a small part.
If you stand ten feet away from a large campfire heat is transferred to your skin how does this happen?
electromagnetic waves carry heat from the fire to your body
What is the force needed to to fire a 9mm bullet?
A primer will usually get it out of the case.
Which energy is possessed by bullet released from a gun?
Kinetic, potential, and heat.
Why bullet trains have streamlined body?
The streamlined body reduces drag and friction from the air, and allows the bullet train to travel faster than a conventional train.
What is a bullet casing?
When you shoot a bullet the bullet casing pos out through the ejector and that is where the bullet is and gunpowder to fire it.
If you are travelling at the speed of light and fire a bullet what would happen?
it is impossible to fire a bullet a the speed of light

How do the body receives heats from fire?
Heat is transferred by electro magnetic waves, for the case with fire it's infra red waves.
Can frogs create heat?
No, it drys out there skin and then they die from the heat and loss of moisture in there body.
Do they summon or control fire in avatar?
both. unlike in the movie version, Zhao/iroh are not the only ones who can create fire. They all can. The key is in the breath! they use their own body heat and the heat from aroudn them and concentrate it creating fire.
If you stand ten feet away from a large campfire heat is transferred to your skin how does this happen?
electromagnetic waves carry heat from the fire to your body
Why does heat reaching your body through camp fire is only by radiation and not by conduction and convection?
Normally, people sit beside a fire. The heat reaching our body cannot be heat transfer by convection since this transfers heat vertically due to density changes. Horizontally, heat cannot be transferred by convection. Air is such a poor conductor that it is impossible that the heat transfer is made by conduction. By elimination, we can conclude that the heat transfer in this case is by radiation.
What happens if you throw handful of cartridges in a fire?
The bullet cases soon explode like a pack of fire crackers. The lead shot may be shot out in all directions. The heat from the fire makes the gunpowder explode and the cartridge and the lead shot, will fire out in opposite directions with the ability to injure or even kill.
Can a bullet ricochet start a forest fire?
No it cannot
What bullet does a colt 45 fire?
Various weights.
What caliber bullet does the P90 fire?
It fires 5.7x28mm.
