"Bullets" do not "go off". A bullet is the metal projectile that comes out of the barrel of a firearm. The term you are looking for is cartridge. Since there is no safe way to fire a cartridge without it being in the correct firearm, I am not going to answer your question- in THAT direction lies pain and injury. I would appreciate it if other contributors would NOT explain how to hurt yourself badly.

Does writing on a bullet cartridge with a sharpie cause damage to the gun when fired?
No it does not. It may flake off and get onto your barrel but as long as you clean your gun as you should there will be no damage done.
What is the bullet?
A bullet itself is a hard one to explain. it's lead based and it's usually put into a clip of a gun or barrel. The bullet is capped off at the back with a small amount of gun powder which is then hit by a firing pin or pins to produce a loud explosion wich is normally aimed at the target .Answer:The bullet is part of a kinetic energy transfer system. It is usually fired from a pistol or rifle at high velocity.The bullet itself is usually made of dense material (lead, bismuth, iron, tungsten, depleted uranium) with or without a protective covering of copper or other metal.A bullet is usually packaged with a propellant (gun powder, black powder, nitrocellulose, gun cotton) together with a casing to allow transportation, and a primer which ignites the propellant. The entire unit is called a shell.
Can you remove the bullet from a 32 caliber rim fire cartridge and then remove the gun powder then add fresh gun powder and reinstall the bullet?
It can be done, but what you're describing is a rather dangerous process. You'd be better off just to buy new ammo for it.
Will a gun cartridge go off if in a fire?
Yes, it will get hot enough to go off. If it is not in a barrel it will not be very dangerous. Actually the bullet won't hit you the casing will.
What are the example of newtons law of motion?
A gun recoils when bullet is fired off the gun.A swimmer pushes the water when he moves forward.
How far will a bullet travel when fired without a gun?
Not very far - several feet, perhaps, depending on a few things like caliber and what sets it off. The nature of Physics dictates that the lighter component will be launched. Generally the case (brass) is the part that is lighter. Smokeless powder burns, it does not explode. The burning of the powder in a restricted space (the chamber/barrel of a gun) enables pressures to rise and propel the bullet as significant velocity. Outside of these confines, the powder is not able to develop significant pressure. The inertia of the heavier component (often times the bullet) causes it to move very little. The lighter component will be launched but at a significantly reuced velocity from that which the gun barrel will propel the bullet. I have seen ammunition that "cooked off" in a fire. Generally the bullet is still in the case (brass) but the primer is the part that was propelled.
Why does one need to reload a gun?
Guns are only able to hold a certain amount of ammunition. Once one has fired the gun one bullet has left the chamber. Once all of the ammunition is gone, one will need to reload the gun in order to fire off more ammunition. If ammunition is not reloaded, then the gun will make a noise, but nothing will happen.
How does the acceleration of the compare with the acceleration of the rifle?
When a bullet is fired out of a gun, the bullet's acceleration and the gun's acceleration are equal in magnitude by opposite in direction. This is the cause of kickback from the gun. The reason why the gun doesn't rip your arm off though is because it's sheer size or mass, resulting in a much smaller impact on the object it collides with.
Can a convicted felon purchase a bullet proof vest in North Carolina?
first off u shouldn't be buying gun proof vest.
What are the examples of newton's third law of motion?
A gun recoils when bullet is fired off the gun.A swimmer pushes the water when he moves forward.
What mechanism takes place when you press trigger of a gun in gun?
When you pull the trigger the hammer (which was cocked back before) is released and it hits the primer on the cartridge which sets off the powder in the cartridge, and the bullet is propelled forward.
