The explanation: The person in charge of firearms on that set made dummy rounds by buying real rounds, removing the powder, then putting the slug back in place. When that was fired, the primer was enough to lodge the slug in the barrel. Nobody checked or realized it was there, so next time that weapon was loaded with a blank instead of a dummy round, the powder charge in the blank shot plus wedged slug became a live round.
Why a dummy round is ever used is beyond me.
Why put the slug back though?
Why put the slug back though?
So you can see that the gun is loaded in the camera shot.
I don't understand why they aren't actual dummy rounds with the tips painted gray to look like lead. Using real shit is too scary for me when you're pointing shit at people and pulling the trigger.
Another good question.
What's the point of the dummy rounds?
So the gun looks loaded during the closeup.
Nice explanation. But how do you know?
I don't know, thats how someone else explained it in another channel. Could be pure speculation, but it seems very plausible.
Aye
The point of using blanks (that have full powder) is to get both the muzzle flash and the recoil. If you use just the primer then what does that get you??
But he shot 2 people
Went through one and hit the other
If that's what she did.. wow. That would be incredibly stupid. That's how Brandon Lee died. You would think an armorer would be familiar with what happened to him.
Someone skilled in firearms would be very aware of that. I bet you this "armorer" had little to no experience with real guns, shooting, or reloading.
Yeh, wouldn't you just use a blank to check?
