Aren’t they supposed to use blanks? Interestingly I read a murder mystery that took place during a reenactment ....

I bet that hurt!

I read about this in Civil War News. They go to great lengths to prevent this.

Lord was struck in the right shoulder by a .45-caliber musket ball during the filming of the "Civil War Overland Campaign Web Series Project." What REALLY sucked was that they took him to a reenacted field hospital and sawed his arm off without anesthesia.

"Lord was struck in the right shoulder by a .45-caliber musket ball during the filming of the "Civil War Overland Campaign Web Series Project." He was treated at a local hospital and released." Out of range.
They didn't march 50 yards apart for nothing, Joshua Owen Silva. Next year don't fire until you reach the line and hear the command...
LMAO

The victim is lucky he still has an arm!

Not a .45 bullet, but a .44 bullet. Stupid reporter. .45 caliber didn't exist in the 1860s and is never used at re-enactments. The guys was probably shooting either an 1851 Colt or an 1858 Remington repro pistol.

Confederate. It figures. The Confederate units were never known for strict guidelines when it came to safety or organization.
As far as the media reporting what was used, that will have to come later when someone who knows what they’re talking about reports back.
