    Just curious, is it technically possible to ignite bullet primer by electrical current (and not by the mechanical force)?

     

    (seems that it is - this is what I found on TheFiringLine)

    there is at least one case on record where a police officer had loose ammunition in a pocket along with a spare battery for his radio. A cartridge (.38 Special) fired, causing a nasty injury. The investigation showed that the cartridge came into contact with the battery terminals with one terminal on the primer. According to the report I saw, the investigators were able to duplicate the situation at will.

    There are electric primers, but normal primers would definitely be susceptible to a short heating them up.
