The Marine Corps (and I would assume practically anyone else today) uses Blanks with crimped ends. It’s missing 1 of the 4 parts of a bullet - the projectile. While small particles expelled can cause burns and eye damage they are harmless beyond a few feet. What is dangerous tho is the hot gas expelled from them. Examples in which blanks actually have caused fatalities is when the barrel was placed directly on the skull of the victim leaving nowhere for the gas to go but in as well as burns caused from rounds discharged several inches away.
Man ive always wondered because they clearly werent using guns and blanks due to the constant proximity, and using CGI adds up and you can still see the recoil which looks legit. Great solution.
@@TheDalinkwent I'm fairly sure they also used them during filming of the later movies, or at least for certain takes or for training. There's behind the scenes footage of Keanu practicing the maneuver from Chapter 4 where he turns a car around and picks the Pit Viper pistol off the floor at the same time, and in the practice takes it seemingly has a orange tip, presumably being the official airsoft copy during the practice runs.
I love collateral, but i just watched heat for the first time a few weeks ago. I was kinda blown away by some of the shooting scenes in that movie. One of my favorites now for sure
Fantastic movie, but different scenario: none of the shooting in Heat takes place at close range. The closest is the killing of Waingro, and that one is a two-shot where we don’t see the shooting and the impact in the same shot.
Adam Greentree. Australian bow hunter and good friend of Joe’s. Wasn’t a blank round, but he held a pistol he didn’t know was jammed at a bear. Look it up in Joe’s history.
So cool to find out about the way these movies were done. I love idea Mr keanu just worked every moment when not shooting a sceen in improving the traits he learnt. And each person who fight in the movie is give a fighting style based around them and charater is done after. So we get idea every main chatater is unique in the fighting.
Gunplay actors have got to be so paranoid after that happened. Imagine you get handed a glock with 20 cartridges in the magazine and you have to halt filming to go through them and make sure none of them have a bullet in it.
That's a holdover from western film sound engineering. It made more sense when a saloon full of cowboys raised guns and clicked back a hammer. Now it doesn't make sense but it's still used for the same dramatic effect.
Blanks have basically no recoil, because there's no projectile. Blank firing weapons have similar recoil as gas blowback airsoft guns. Lowering the power of a blank only leads to failure to cycle. Because now there isn't enough energy to move the bolt
That's how Brandon Lee was killed filming "The Crow". The prop gun used had a close up to show there was a bullet. Stunt coordinator didn't clear the barrel for the blank, it had enough power to kill.
There's an article that goes into depth about how they made this plug gun. Basically it doesn't shoot blanks at all. It's essentially just a reloader. There's a hydraulic pushback when trigger is held, casing pops out, but Nothing comes outta the barrel. All muzzle flashes are added in digitally. Not only is it more safer, but you can have a better performance due to the gun recoil and reloading you can do in real time.
@@billycrooks8401 yeah because if ur a actor you wouldn't think they gave you a prop with real bullets. please don't go all he should have checked it... no that what the weapons masters and prop department is for

Its not fake, this is literally called a bfa, blank firing attachemet and its used by the military in blank exercises, so the gun still shoots but doesn't kill
It’s probably what the safety protocol that studios have to follow to avoid any lawsuits. Cause I agree a blank would not kill anyone that’s why their blanks. But it’s prolly a rule like If there is a gun firing blanks, no one may be within 15 feet of the barrel of the muzzle flash.
they're trying to create an actual firefight lol they would have to pay a whole lot more to create the sound effects and the flash to stop an airsoft gun sounding like a wet fart
When I was younger we got to fire some guns with blanks in them and the first thing they showed us was a guy ripping apart a bin bag filled with water from like 10 yards with a blank to show us they still do damage
The gun wont cycle right shooting blanks out of an open barrel like it normally would. You have to modify the gun for it to funtion properly with blanks.
It’s good that he’s talking about how blanks at point blank are still dangerous, but 10-15ft like he said is not gonna kill someone, at most it’ll be a little piece of paper hitting them pretty fast, but nothing life threatening
Yeah no that guy is lying. A blank can kill you if it’s right next to you or if something is lodged in the barrel but not at 15 feet away with no projectile stuck in the barrel.
@@farmerskeletor wrong. Brandon Lee died because something was lodged in the barrel and the discharge from the blank gave it enough force to eject and kill him. Even if he had been 25 feet away, he still would have died because he was essentially just shot with a bullet. As long as the blank is produced properly and nothing is stuck in the barrel, they are 100% safe every single time with ear protection.
A blank at 10-15 feet definitely won’t even hurt you. Army infantry, we trained with blanks ALLLLLL the time. The gas will still hurt at around 5 feet and you definitely don’t wanna put it up to your face and pull the trigger. but it won’t kill you 😂
@zai7816 they didn't use blanks sadly, gun was loaded with live ammo when it was supposed too be blanks, also I've been shot by blanks many times at ranges from 5-10 feet.
@@leinkarr5442because it's true. You can literally find tons of videos of people demonstrating this. Watermelons exploding at point blank range and etc
I think more than anything it’s a huge safety risk. Material can still be ejected on very rare occasions and even so a lot of these shots seem to be taken from just a few short feet away and I sure as heck wouldn’t want fully operational firearms being shot at me from 3ft away. Better safe than sorry but you’re not wrong in that his claim is still a little dramatic lol
You can get a similar effect without using blanks at all, systems like the coolfire trainer are a great alternative. I know they came out after the movie was shot but it would make things even easier in future movies.
@@Mike0All it is is a barrel plug. Keeps anything from leaving the barrel for safety, and builds enough gas pressure to cycle the action. Is not new, movie guns used to plug the barrel solid, before realism became important.
no gunfire blast, noise and you can't use c02 blowback with real guns whereas if you have a scene with a person fighting and a scene with a person shooting targets you can use the exact same prop, just different ammo

Hence why hollywood has so many rules around gun safety on set and why Alec Baldwin is guilty of negligent homicide because him and his production team broke many of those rules leading to the death of his filmographer
Probably meant kill or injured, but the gas will only kill you at very close range to head or body. Other debris/wadding and act like a bullet
And that's why guns in movies don't have recoil anymore
Beautiful detail

it's exactly the same effect we use in our m-1 garands. for the honor guard. the barrel has to be plugged off to a small home. pro enough back pressure to cycle the rifle. only a small amount of gas comes out the barrel.
Crazy I never thought about this
The military has this but it’s a BFA that screws onto the end of the barrel. I’m surprised it took armorers in film this long to find a work around
BFAs are a nightmare for cleaning so much carbon
Isn't the Bfa primarily to create enough pressure to correctly cycle the bolt of a gun that's not made to fire blanks?
“The trick is we gave him a real gun.”
“Can it kill a bear if it’s close enough?”
So that's why everyone took 50-60 bullets before dying in the last john wick.
