I had to hold the bullets in my cupped hands with a tiny flashlight in my mouth in this pitch black Forrest as he rummaged through the bullets to find the blanks that we were going to SHOOT DIRECTLY INTO A FUCKING ACTORS HEAD.

2. Clear thinking.

4. I heard someone say it only costs about 50 cents to add the sound/flash in post-production.

This would be a good way to end these tragedies.

3. WTF were there actual bullets there in the first place?

6. There's a rumor that the prop gun Alec used

was also used for target practice with live rounds earlier in the day. It's unconfirmed so take it with a grain of salt.

9. Why the fuck are actual guns used on movie sets?

That's fucking criminal. It's not like these kinds of "accidents" haven't happened before.

7. Jon-Erik Hexum.

Reminds me of that tragedy many years ago.

8. No, the tweet does not explain anything.

Why would real bullets be anywhere on or near the filming?

10. Because people are stupid.
