No- but a CARTRIDGE can. The bullet is the solid metal part of a cartridge that comes out of the end of the barrel. Being solid metal, there is no part of it that is flammable or explosive. A CARTRIDGE is an entire. loaded round of ammunition (Cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet) If those are in a fire and get hot enough, they will explode. However, when not confined in a gun barrel, the energy is not directed, and pieces of the case or bullet will usually only travel a few feet.

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.
Is dropping a bullet enough to fire the primer?
yes it is, some primers are softer than others. Military primers are hard, whereas, match primers are soft. But if either fall just right they will go off. However, the bullet will not go flying off some where, the case will rupture.
Will a Bullet fire in space?
Off course it will. The average bullet contains a propellant and an oxidizer, so a lack of oxygen is not going to be a problem.
If you throw a bullet into a fire and it goes off will it travel far?
No. It depends upon the bullet of course, but a handgun bullet usually won't hurt you if it hits you under those conditions. Another answer: Depends on the cartridge: Remember that this is deadly because the bullet and cartridge will go in opposite directions at great speeds. The larger the bullet and powder will determine the velocity and distance.
Can a bullet go off by itself?
No. Something has to make contact with the primer or cause the primer to get really hot. Dropping or hitting a round, or throwing it into a fire can cause it ignite.
How far does a bullet go whend fire up?
That depends on the caliber of the round of ammunition.

How do you make a bullet go off without a gun?
"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.

What is the farthest a bullet could go?
Depends on the gun, the bullet, amount of propellant, angle of firing, rifling, temperature, air pressure, humidity etc An average military assault rifle can fire a bullet almost three miles on optimal trajectory.
