How bullets work?
A bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the gun. A cartridge consists of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and the bullet. The primer is struck by the firing pin, and explodes. In doing so, it ignites the gunpowder. Rapidly burning powder produces a rapidly expanding gas. This pushes the bullet out of the barrel.
How much pressure on a bullet primer to make it go off?
The pressure required to ignite a bullet primer typically ranges from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is generated by the firing pin striking the primer cup, causing it to crush the priming compound and ignite, subsequently firing the cartridge.

How do you remove the primer from a bullet?
The term is cartridge- that is a cartridge case, powder, primer, and bullet (that's the part that comes out of the barrel) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to remove a live primer from a loaded cartridge. Once the primer has been fired, reloaders use a tool called a deprimer to push the old primer out from the inside- but pushing on a LIVE primer will almost certainly make it fire. Very unsafe, please do not fool with that.
