Why are live rounds even allowed on a set? Can't they replicate the sound with the foley people? -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 20:20 7
- Well, blanks also help with recoil and muzzle flash. There's no excuse for an actual bullet being on set*. - Ender Oct 22, 20:32 6
  - It sounds like some of the confusion comes from the industry terms. My understanding of what happened -- (edited) - Reagen Oct 23, 03:07 1
    - I don't see how a blank could kill the dp, then go on to hospitalize the director. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 15:00
  - And blanks can still be deadly. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 20:36 3
    - In the same way sledgehammers can. They're not meant to be applied directly to the body. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 21:15 2
      - Oops. -- nm - HHH Oct 22, 23:10
      - There's a reason they call it "point blank range" - znufrii Oct 22, 21:16
someone is going to jail -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 19:39 3
- Two sources tell Consequence that the film's assistant director has a troubling history of ignoring safety protocols. -- (link) - Remlik Oct 22, 19:40 2
  - Negligence lawsuit in 3-2-1... -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 20:29
  - Hmm, also the first AD on Bone Tomahawk -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 19:48
