MO Fugga Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 We used to attach stupid MILES gear to the barrel just to make the blanks work. With all the money in Hollywood, surely they'd evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my brother was a noob, he was filming for a tv show and had to shoot people. Then the guy angrily yelled, "Cut!" and "What the hell are you doing now?" My brother said, "But, it didn't go 'bang!'" He said, "No! We add that in later! Now get it right!" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWARREN123 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 One way to make a M16 type rifle work with blanks and not show anything is to use the head of a cartridge with the primer removed and put it between the flash hider and barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 They are talking about the Gun having been loaded with a Live Round. In movie speak, a Live Round is a round that does something. Bang like a blank, flash, spark or just pop out some smoke or colored powder. As opposed to a non functional Dummy Round used to film loading or unloading. They are not talking about real loaded ammunition. What shooters call a Live Round. Having real loaded ammo is a serious safety violation. A major danger is a blank firing out some obstruction in the barrel. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
