“Prop guns have live ammo?”

Live enough apparently.

A wad can kill at close range. No bullet required.

It happened to Jon-Eric Hexum on the set Cover Up in 1984.

He was playing with a prop gun that was loaded with blanks. He didn't realize that the discharge from the blanks was just as deadly when held inches from your head.

Blank pistols can kill at close range as the wadding is fired out the barrel. I believe it actually happened once on camera a few years ago.

No but blanks can kill. There was some show years ago about models who worked as private investigators. The star of the show put a prop pistol to his head and blew a wad into his head, killing himself.

While in the Marine Corps, a Marine failed to clear his weapon and with the blank firing adapter removed, negligently discharged the weapon into my folded poncho blowing a hole all the way through. I took his poncho before they took him to the brig.
