So,

If I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, It appears the hot wire 
ionizer wire is spring loaded. It would probably take a significant 
impact to spring that back enough for the wire to weld back with any 
sort of discharge.

It may be possible, but most likely not very easy to do. Although these 
pictures give an indication of what direction one would have to try hit 
it...
