RE2, maybe 15k tops
Deathrace, 4 tons of spent brass was collected through out the movie. |

That sounds like it would have taken up a sizable portion of the budget! |

believe it or not, firearms can be the most least expensive thing in a movie budget

True. Although 4 tons of brass is still just...whoa. Of course, that's because 20mm and .50-cal rounds are both huge.

Yeah, I remember the filmakers talked about the 20mm blanks fired from the Vulcans in xXx, and the blanks were so expensive, they were going through ~ $100 a second. My memory on it is fuzzy though.
Four tons of brass collected?! I'm buying that movie now, that sounds fucking awesome!

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.
