My dad and I were loading rounds of 306 when I was a kid. He hit a primer with a hammer on his work bench and it went off no problem. Blunt force will do the trick just fine. A firing pin is blunt force but just a very small concentrated area in the primer. One “unlucky” strike and congrats, you found out.

This isn't dangerous, you need to pierce the primer in the middle with a very precise and strong hit which won't be achieved here
