Since when are prop guns capable of firing live rounds?

I honestly have no idea about prop guns or what their capabilities are, but as my husband and I just discussed, what were ANY live rounds doing on a movie set? Why would they be there in the first place to be "mistaken" for blanks at all? Obviously there was a reason there were live rounds present. Time will tell as to why.
I think you're right. The deniability is so plausible in that, "I'm just an actor, I just used the gun they handed me, other people are responsible for making sure only blanks are in it," etc. The rest of us responsible gun owners know that you check to make sure you know exactly how many rounds are in your gun and if it's chambered before you fire it, and if it is, you don't so much as point it at anything you don't want to kill. AND that you are responsible for every bullet that leaves your gun. But since he sits on his high horse and tells the rest of us lowly flyover country people how we shouldn't have any guns, it's making him look pretty damn ignorant at best, and completely involved, responsible and implicated at worst. He's a piece of shit with no soul, so I can see how he can act like someone who "accidentally" shot someone, despite being fully aware of what he was doing.
"Prop" guns that only fire blanks are real guns, they just might not be built to handle the pressure of a live load though. I know people in theater in Illinois who had to get FOID cards just to be able to handle them on set.
