Apologies for my ignorance but is it common practice to use a gun that can fire live rounds in movie making?
I thought using a gun that COULDN’T fire live rounds would be the obvious choice for this very reason.

Depends on the scene and what’s needed. Sometimes they use real live ammo for certain controlled scenes.

There are several ways movie makers can get the effect of live fire without actually firing a gun with live rounds.

Very common, probably the large majority.

Typically BLANKS are used. No projectile sitting inside the brass case. Ignited gunpowder goes boom.
