Pulling a trigger is a good amount of force, but there's always been the thought of "misfires," so who's to say?
It's almost totally unstudied, as far as I know.

Uri Geller worked with the military and CIA as part of a relatively small facet of the psychic warfare studies of the Cold War. He was brought in for a demonstration, studied for a week after he convinced them he had psychic powers, and collaborated with intelligence operatives in the years that followed.
It's hard to say how much of the study was people "in on the joke" or true-believers rigging it for success, but taking his results at face value, he proved that he was somewhere in the space between psychically capable (doing the impossible) and psychically competent (doing the impossible reliably). The conclusions of administrators of the time was that he was not reliable enough to turn it into an active and useful program, not that he did not demonstrate any psychic powers.
Ultimately, mounting concerns that Uri had instead successfully conned people into giving him answers and information, on purpose or on accident, led to the whole thing getting canned.
Noteworthy addition: I do not believe he was ever evaluated on "spoon-bending" or physical telekinesis, which is bizarre, because that was his most public trick. Likely they knew it was a trick, and focused on what they perceived as authentic unexplainable events under his most obvious con, but I think that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Telekinesis would be the most provable and potentially the most useful psychic power, or way to interact with ghosts, as previously discussed.
Imagine for example you knew gunshots reliably swerved to target the gun-owner's murderer's heads. if you needed to assassinate a dictator, wouldn't arming the entire squad with their victims' firearms, or their murder weapons, be a massive advantage? Would "coincidences" start to line up just right to make the mission a success? Likewise, if psychics can curve bullets, would a squad of le nazi fox men do the job better than trained shooters?
Due to the fragility of the physical forces involved, how intimate guns are with death, and how regularized firing procedures are, it seems like a really good target for detecting "minimal" or "weak" supernatural activity of any kind.
