A few years back I read an article on blanks. It said that blanks are made from rifle brass, which is cut to length for loading, and crimping. The article explained that, that is why it is so hard to make a .45 work with blanks. There is no rifle brass the same size as a .45 acp round.
Does anyone know it this is true?
I read after the "Twilight Zone" movie tragedy, that one of the new changes was new restrictions on using live ammo. They used to use live ammo to shoot holes in car doors and barricades. James Cagney said that for the scene in "White Heat" where they were shooting at him with machine guns, they were really shooting at him! Last year I saw a photo of them shooting that scene. There was a marksman on a platform aiming a Thompson smg at the building near the actors.
