Rounds don't "go off" if the primer is ignited outside a chamber to contain the brass. It will go "Pffft" and that's it. The brass will move fast enough to possibly break the skin, but not penetrate a coat.

Ever heard of firefighters halting to find out if there's any ammo in a house before they approach? That's why. It's not an issue.

OK's dad used a vice to anchor the brass, hence it launched the bullet.
