I recall on 2nd unit we were filming the rig all gunned up and firing all it's guns, we went through 5000 rnds a take I believe, how many takes and days I don't know, I was only there for a week then back to work on another show.
The 20mm had 12g inserts, I think it had upwards of 80+ grains of powder in the shell.
I agree with excalibur for features, on smaller shows they make you feel like chickens with lips are far more common.
The 3 things that get chopped are stunts, FX and guns,
I couldn't imagine what would happen if the upper's had to get rid of something useless in their contract in order to make the film a little more exciting.
