Former PM Abe Shinzo dies after being shot
The correct term is a CARTRIDGE. The bullet is the projectile attached at the end. Perhaps he used home-made black powder (since people reported dense white smoke), but how he fashioned primers or something else to ignite it with is beyond me.

It was a homemade electric ignition (ie, a battery, electrodes, and a switch)
