Bullet physics experts, I require assistance!

So basically, Volgin from MGS3 has this signature fighting style where he holds bullets between his fingers and fires them off while punching someone using their electricity.
How effective would this be in real life? As in, say you have an electrokinetic person, and other than that they're just a regular guy. They punch someone and set off the bullet, what happens? How safe is it for the electrokinetic? Is it just as dangerous to them as it is for the guy getting punched?

 

I wanna know why it is that when you do drugs you come here.

 

It would be just as dangerous if not more for the user because what makes bullets fire is the explosion only having one place to go, while pushing off against the container with immense force. The same force that make the bullet travel that fast would be applied in all directions, but especially toward his hands/arm/torso (the back of the round).

 

Don't ruin the fun, buttercup. These threads can be entertaining.
