[Marvel] How does Gambit's power work with bullets or being shot?

I guess there are a few stages in my thought process.     

1. Could he charge a bullet in order for it to explode on impact?     

2. If he was shot in a non lethal place (say through his palm) and the bullet keeps traveling, after it hits him, could he charge it through the process of being shot.

3. Say 2. is possible, could he do so with a fatal blow (i.e. the brain)?     


I imagined some made up situation where Gambit is in a stand off with a bad guy (say the Punisher for simplicity), but needs to blow up a thing for his team. Could he engage in hand-to-hand and cup the barrel of the gun while it is firing at a certain position in order to blow up the thing for his team?

Gambit's powers don't work instantly - it takes him time to build up a charge in an object. The longer he touches it, the more he can charge it. The time it takes a bullet to go into or through him would not be enough time for him to charge it.

Plus, even if it were possible, the result would be that he was just being hit by an exploding bullet, instant of a regular bullet.

On the other hand, if he was holding a bullet in his hand, he could indeed charge it to explode on impact - but that's impact with *anything*, including the firing pin of a gun, and possibly even just the force of being chambered into a gun.
