How can you call something a "prop" if it's real and fully loaded? :disgusted:

Literally out there playing with guns and  :-o !!! someone gets hurt!

I have zero experience with guns but I remember an episode of CSI where they explained that even with blanks you can kill someone because of the pressure that comes out of that gun. (I was on a set of a Photoshoot once and there were strict rules and it wasn't even loaded.) This is also how Brandon Lee died. There should have been people keeping an eye on the gun, with blanks you still have to keep distance.

QuoteIn 1984, the actor Jon-Erik Hexums put a gun filled with blanks to his head, and, joking about delays to filming, he pulled the trigger. The force of the wadding was enough to fatally injure him.

Instead of using a bullet, blanks use wads of paper, plastic, felt or cotton – this wadding ensures you get a certain level of flame out of the gun.

But this wadding is the thing which can cause a lot of injury: just because a gun is using blanks, that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous.

We are filmmakers who work with firearms. This is what is important in on-set safety

It means you put the gun too close; on someone's head or body and shoot the blanks. It's probably not the gun that was acting up (you can expect there to be pressure/flame), it's a lack of security measures.

The director of photography and the director? Must've been some horseplay.
