I would think every actor that has to use a gun should have to get trained to the point they know they are the last chance to catch something like this. And are going to shoulder the blame. Only takes a second to see what you have in the gun. Dummy’s look like real rounds but the primers are dimpled and they rattle of you shake them . You can spin the cylinder of a pistol and see all the primers in one second. Sent from my iPhone
