    I kind of get that, but if he hadn’t pulled the trigger between takes, then when it came to actually filming the take, the real bullet would’ve just been shot then, right?

    I understand it’s a bit weird to fire in between takes but it would’ve been fired one way or another, unless I’m misunderstanding something about the situation

      If he’d fired it during the actual take it wouldn’t have been pointed at a person though. They have clear lanes to fire blanks since they spew out powder and dust, and if anything gets lodged in the barrel it can become a projectile. It’s why they use dummy weapons when ‘firing’ with another actor in the scene.

        Oh I didn’t know they used clear lanes for blanks and dummy guns for “firing” at actors. Thanks for informing me
