Anyway, back to the topic of what types of guns were used, we basically have the confirmation in BTS shots (like here and here) that they were indeed blanks
Well let me be the first to say that Movie Armorers sometimes make mistakes Just as an aside, I actually argued with a well known armorer about which guns were on a set, and yes, he was the credited ARMORER on the set, but I was actually there so I remember what was used. He was remembering it wrong. No worries, he's a good friend so we're cool, but I remember what I helped out on set

Sounds like you guys need to shape up or ship out.

Yeah, who would have ever thought movie armorers are normal human beings with fallible memories, who can't recall exactly what guns they used on a production that they worked on many years ago (out of dozens/hundreds of shows since)? Clearly, I have to re-evaluate how I see them...they must not be the deities that I thought they were when I first became an IMFDB member.

At least you know what needs to be done.
