I’ll go one step further: I don’t know why there should be any functional weapons on a movie or TV set, let alone live ammo. Sure, use a real gun if you want, but key mechanisms (like a firing pin or parts of the trigger assembly) should be removed. In this day and age, even mundane things are going to have some special effects added, and the audio is always going to be “enhanced” because movie guns have to sound like artillery for “excitement.” (Always amused me since real pistols are already REALLY loud, but whatever.) There’s absolutely no reason for anyone to ever be pointing a functional weapon at anybody.
