On a set I would think you wouldn't have that time crunch in between takes.

The real mind bender for me is that they took the prop guns out shooting. Once designated a prop they should never have had live ammo in them. imo.
Someone is going to have to explain to me the reason Live Ammo is required on a movie set at all.

I dont get it. Its a movie. Is there something that live ammunition can do that cant be replicated somehow? I dont see how.
