Speaking of steel, it should not do this, No traffic on Delaware River Bridge while fracture is assessed, fixed Officials said it would take two weeks before engineers have a full grasp of the extent of the damage, what kinds of repairs would be needed, and how long the bridge would remain closed. But they made clear that the damage was significant. "Due to the significant fracture, stresses have been redistributed to other parts of the bridge," said Brad Heigel, Pennsylvania Turnpike chief engineer. The bridge on I-276 was last inspected in 2014 and no problems were identified at that time. It handles about 42,000 vehicles a day. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20170122_No_traffic_on_Delaware_River_Bridge_while_fracture_is_assessed__fixed.html

The important bit about shooting blanks/sim rounds/etc. is bothering to check that the gun is actually loaded with those things and not actual bullets before waving it around at people. Yes, even taking the 3 whole seconds required to check the chamber! Apparently this is not always obvious.

I've probably posed this in this thread before but Jon-Erik Hexumquote:On October 12, 1984, the cast and crew of Cover Up were filming the seventh episode of the series, "Golden Opportunity", on Stage 17 of the 20th Century Fox lot. One of the scenes filmed that day called for Hexum's character to load bullets into a .44 Magnum handgun, so he was provided with a functional real gun and blanks. When the scene did not play as the director wanted it to play in the master shot, there was a delay in filming. Hexum became restless and impatient during the delay and began playing around to lighten the mood. Apparently, he had unloaded all but one (blank) round, spun it, and, apparently simulating Russian roulette with what he thought was a harmless weapon, at 5:15 p.m., he put the revolver to his right temple and pulled the trigger.

I'm surprised it took 6 days to declare him braindead. I would have figured it out within a few moments of him shooting himself. "why is jon laying on the floor" "he shot himself in the head playing pretend russsian roulette" "well, let's get his organs into someone who isn't dumb enough to shoot themselves in the head"

No. There are guns that can safely fire *only* blanks, which have far lower chamber pressures. There are blank-only replicas of actual firearms, and there are also blank-only noisemakers that are made to only vaguely resemble real guns.

Improbable Lobster posted:Not that blanks haven't killed people. Yeah many people think blanks don't shoot anything out of the gun, but the cartridge contains bits of wadding and stuff to keep the powder packed against the primer. That, and pellets of burning powder, are still shot out the gun but usually disintegrate within a few metres. Even without that, if you hold the muzzle up hard against something, all that expanding gas has to go somewhere.

Phanatic posted:No. There are guns that can safely fire *only* blanks, which have far lower chamber pressures. There are blank-only replicas of actual firearms, and there are also blank-only noisemakers that are made to only vaguely resemble real guns. Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, was killed on the set of The Crow in a firearm mishap: "Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge then reinserting the bullets. However, they unknowingly or unintentionally left the live primer in place at the rear of the cartridge. At some point during filming the revolver was apparently discharged with one of these improperly-deactivated cartridges in the chamber, setting off the primer with enough force to drive the bullet partway into the barrel, where it became stuck (a condition known as a squib load). The prop crew either failed to notice this or failed to recognize the significance of this issue. In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 3.6–4.5 meters (12–15 feet), the dummy cartridges were exchanged with blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. But since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him.[11] He was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he underwent 6 hours of surgery. However, attempts to save him were unsuccessful, and Lee was pronounced dead at 1:03 p.m. EST. The shooting was ruled an accident." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Lee

fat bossy gerbil posted:Put a live round in there and it will project it the same as any real firearm though, even if the gun explodes as it does so. Blank only guns cost just as much and in many cases a whole lot more than just using a real gun hence why directors often just opt to use the real thing. It depends on the situation. A blank firearm might look like something in .45, but only be able to accept .17 or .22 blanks. And if there's a scene that requires you to hold a gun up to someone's head, an actor might decide "No, thank you, I don't want you to hold a real gun up to my skull," in which case you go with a replica, non-firing or otherwise. And as for the cost of the gun, you're renting these things, not buying them for your production. Also, legally they are different, and you might be filming in a country that makes getting hold of real firearms difficult even for movie productions. The Movie Gun Database has exhaustive detail on all varieties of option.

And if you're producing a film clip, it's not hard at all to find a professional movie armorer to provide firearms and supervision. Whether you get a good one that will actually supervise is another matter.
