In reply to the discussion: Judge dismisses charges against Alec Baldwin in Rust killing [View all]FakeNoose
(41,343 posts)25. I agree but my question is, why are prop guns able to shoot real bullets?
When they invented prop (or fake) guns for the movies, they also invented prop ammunition. There's no reason that real bullets should be used in prop guns - ever! A prop is a prop.
They have such great AI and CGI technology now, making 80 year-old-actors look half their age, and all the rest. They can certainly use CGI for fake guns, explosions, etc. None of this needs to be real any more.
Now would be a good time to BAN GUNS altogether from movie sets.
