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 should you do when a cartridge fails to fire?
Keep pointing the gun at the target for at least 10 full seconds. If the round does not go off, try re-cocking the gun and attempt to fire it again. If you have to open the action to re-cock the gun or if it still doesn't go off after a second strike at the primer by the firing pin, carefully open the action of the gun keeping the cartridge away from your face. Always wear shooting glasses with shatter-resistant lenses when shooting or loading /unloading guns.
Will a bullet in a fire go off?
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.
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.

Can snapping cap mean a dysfunctional bullet?
No. First- let's be clear about this. The bullet is just the piece of lead that shoots out the barrel. The bullet + brass casing + gun powder + primer is called a CARTRIDGE. A dysfunctional cartridge is called either a dud or a mis-fire. It is bad for the gun when you go through the motions of firing the weapon without a cartridge actually being in the chamber. It causes unwanted wear and metal fatigue on the hammer and firing pin assembly. A snapping cap (sometimes called a snap or snapper cap) has the same dimensions as a cartridge but has no primer, no gunpowder, and no bullet. It is a true dummy cartridge...one that you place in the gun's chamber so that you can "fire" the gun without harming it.

How do you open a 12 gram CO2 cartridge?
You don't- and trying to do so is very dangerous. When inserted into the device- such as a CO2 powered gun, the cartridge is penetrated by a portion of the gun. If you do not have instructions for the device, go on line and find a user's manual.

In what context? As far as individual weapons go, the South African Denel NTW-20x110 and Croatian RT-20 fire a 20x110mm cannon cartridge. But, you have to bear in mind that the term "gun" can refer to anything from a pistol all the way up to artillery pieces and battleship guns.
Why should special care be given when using a double set trigger for hunting?
one trigger sets the gun to go off and the other fires it you must squeeze the first trigger then the second to fire the gun and if your not careful and pull the set trigger again instead of the second trigger the gun will not fire plus the second trigger being the fire trigger is usually a hair trigger meaning you barely have to pull it to make the gun fire
How many feet per second does a bullet go?
It depends on several factors, such as the specifications of the cartridge fired, and what type of gun is used to fire it (or more specifically, the barrel length). It can be as little as about 300 FPS or as high as several thousand FPS.
