I've heard the young armorer report she had no idea where live ammo for the death-gun came from.
I saw somewhere that the Sheriff department found LOTS of live, real, lead projectile topped cartridges on the set.
That means that someone brought it there. Maybe for plinking between scenes or takes? Who knows. People other than me are working hard to get to the bottom of this whole affair, and I am confident they will.
The important thing is people are able to find and purchase ammunition again. .45 Long Colt, presumably. Jeez, still a buck fiddy each.
The armorer on the set is the daughter of legendary shooter and armorer Thell Reed. It does not, so far, seem she was up to speed on her craft.
