Best Answer

a high pressure pinpoint impact, shattering the internal explosives in the primer, will set off a chain reaction. a laser doesn't do this!! heat can, but it needs to be over 200 degrees celcius to do so, and this isn't a proper explosion, this is simply a fizzle, which can set off a bullet. a general laser will not heat it to this level.
