"When you look at a dummy round, and you look at their appearance, they have the same projectile tip, some of these do not have holes in the side of them. They mimic and look like a real round."
An actor is supposed to know the difference?
The current suspicion is that someone deliberately put live rounds in the box of dummy rounds. That's quite devious; orchestrating a shooting without being the one to pull the trigger.
What? Bollocks
We used blanks in our rifles when out bush on exercise. Our Weapons were the 7.62 SLR. A blank round had a black plastic cartridge, crimped at the end where the bullet would normally be attached.
Just in case the passage of time had left me confused, I just googled "blank .38 round" , then 'live .38 round'. The blanks are in fact shiny brass, with the end which usually takes the bullet being crimped. On a live round, the cartridge is brass and the bullet is a copper colour with a rounded tip.
The person who made that statement on the video is an ignoramus, a moron, or a defence lawyer.
