Please understand that blanks are live rounds and can be deadly if handled without care. Saying it was a live round does not mean it was a bullet. From the article:

> A source close to the union said Local 44 does not know what projectile was in the gun and clarified that “live” is an industry term that refers to a gun loaded with some material such as a blank ready for filming.

Blanks can be deadly if you put them up to your head like Jon-Erik Hexum. But a wadding cannot go through one person at some distance and then injure another. Something else was inside that gun that turned into a projectile.

Ok, I can see how blanks are called live rounds. Still my understanding is:

1. The person handing off said 'cold gun' which to me implies the weapon was not charged with anything. Please clarify if I misunderstood.

2. The victim was shot at a distance. This makes it probable there was an actual bullet in the weapon. Why assume anything different?

So I still wonder why there would be bullets around on the set.
