  1. It’s known as a squib load. A bullet will dislodge from its blank. Lodge in the barrel the next round if the barrel isn’t checked and cleared the pressure from the primer will shoot lodged round. Second if a live round got loaded well their real guns and always treated with respect and always treated as though loaded. It’s not Alex’s he was playing a character and doing what the script called for. Who ever is responsible for the blanks and the guns accidents will happen if things aren’t done in a safe handling manner.
