The same way Brandon Lee was killed by a blank cartridge. Mistakes happen with prop guns. In Lee’s case a round (used to give the appearance that real bullets are loaded in the revolver) was stuck in the barrel from a previous scene. Nobody checked to see if the weapon was clear before loading blanks. When a blank was fired the pressure from the discharged blank cartridge pushed the round out killing Lee.

You would think protocols were put in place to prevent that happening again. The guns used are often the real deal, so it is possible a live round was accidentally used. The actors are not really aiming the gun so I suspect he was facing a camera or designated spot for the scene. Probably fired multiple times for the scene before realizing something was wrong.

Somebody should be held accountable but I doubt it is going to be a twit who only plays the role of an intelligent person in movies.

Thanks for the comments. I agree with your take on things.

I think someone should be held accountable.
