Topic	Alex Baldwin shot and killed someone

If it's a revolver they might use dummy rounds containing a real bullet but with a cartridge missing the powder and primer. This is because an unloaded revolver could be quite obvious in a closeup. Because they have no powder or primer they cannot be fired; they are completely inert and harmless. But an improperly made dummy round can be extremely dangerous, as in the case of Brandon Lee. Weapons with fully internal magazines are used completely empty unless they are planning on firing blanks. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:959345180] in Alex Baldw...
