No, they don’t use anything real. Not the gun, nor the ammo. Neither, outside of security, will be present. It’s been that way for a long time, and was solidified after The Crow.
And I’m referring to regular motion pictures….not some Seal Team 6 documentary. Where the actors are real service members kinda thing. Not sure about those. But if it’s all actors…yes, all fake.
I saw something years ago that gave me the impression that many of the guns they use are real, but the ammo is fake. But I could be wrong, so not arguing the point.
I was lead to believe the barrels of prop guns are intentionally too narrow to allow a proper caliber projectile to escape, they can fire blank round gas and smoke can leave the barrel, but if you put a live round in it and fired it'd damage it, perhaps even spectacularly.
but who knows if it was a 44 and someone put a 357 in it.. or anything with the right size brass and smaller projectile?
