Thank you. I have never heard of dummy rounds being different from blanks. I suppose they have their use in the industry. It would be extremely dangerous to have both dummy rounds and live ammo on a set. That should never be permitted.

But the rules of gun safety still have to be observed. That damn fool should never have pointed the gun at a person regardless of what he thought was in it.

I could see dummy rounds being used in a scene where someone is, say, loading a gun and you want the bullets to look realistic but not be fireable.
