the speed of the bullet will definitely penetrate through the shell of the nuke creating a spark that leads to explosion

No, nukes are designed to be incredibly hard to trigger.
Even if you placed a grenade right next to the explosives that implode the core, it would just break the core apart.

No, you explosives that surround the core are incredibly stable. Sparks won't do anything to them.

Here's a 2.5 hour documentary about the safety systems that go into a nuke, from the people that make the nukes.

Usually you want to shoot bullets at objects. If you shot a gun at something, there is a small chance the gun would explode.
