Ya. Kind of reckless to use a fully functional firearm as a prop. That would scare the heck out of me if I knew it. I might even complain.
Pointing a “empty” firearm at a person is very bad which would very likely happen during the production of a movie.
Not following the safety rules with a real firearm. Yikes!

Most Guns used on sets are real Guns.
