well, according to the post,real guns makes the movie more perfect...they were not fortunate to handle it well,by getting firearms expert to supervise....the real gun weren't loaded with live ammunition that has bullet/projectile..it was just a blank cartridge, that only has tendency of creating harm at close range.
Basically Like fireworks at close range.

It is not wise at all to use real guns. What for.

In Summary, Prop guns are also very deadly.



My advice:
Don't use real guns in movies.

If you must use real guns, use only rubber bullets.

No matter how real a movie looks, we all know it's still acted.
I remember watching Myth busters and they carried out an experiment using cigarette butt as bullet in a gun. One of the show hosts (can't remember if it was Adam or Jaime) concluded: "if you don't intend to kill something, don't point a gun at it".

This is what happens when every actor wants to be a producer/writer/director all at the same time, without the requisite qualification or knowledge.

Shi.t like this will happen.

You don't get this from professional directors like Scorsese or Tarantino.
They stay in their lanes and deliver without hassles.
Baldwin, at his age wants to be everything and everywhere.

But why firing it to Director of Photography on set? Was she acting as well? Was it part of the script or just pure temptation to fire?
