Like all laws of physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.In this case, the bullet has a motion propelled by kinetic energy and the skin is the opposing force or reaction.Since the bullet's force is greater than the skin;s resisting force, it pierces the skin, the point first curve sufficing the laceration to the skin, for the bullet to go through.

Can a bullet fire from body heat?
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).
Does a bullet train travel faster than a bullet?
bullet trains travel at 96.5 percent the speeed of a bullet No it doesn't. A bullet train does around 190mph normally and can reach 275mph. Depending on calibre, a rifle bullet travels at 1,500-2,000mph. So on average, a bullet train travelling at normal speed travels at between 9.5 and 12.6% of the speed of a rifle bullet.
