5.45s are much more common NOW, but a lot of armories won't spend a ton of new capital $$ on a bunch of 5.45 guns. Sure there are some but the vast majority of guns are 7.62x39mm. They are much more common in the world and more usable in more plot lines. 5.45 blanks cost the same (I sure hope our suppliers don't die out
) and there ARE some 5.45 blanked guns around, but I just don't see them that often.
Remember MOVIE blanks are usually full brass, crimped, full flash (or half or quarter depending on need) but they're pretty pricey because they're made to good specs. Decent blanks are required, because a production will get pissed at you if your blanks don't feed or cycle well and ruin a VERY EXPENSIVE take....
