Which is what I think happened to the actor in 1984(heal 44 mag with blanks to his head screwing around, and fractured his skull and died)....along with the Jason Lee incident with a blank shot at his stomach, but shards of blank plastic entered his stomach as a projectile...6 hours of surgery later he died at 28 years old.
John Erik Hexum was dicking around with a .44 Magnum loaded with blanks, and put the barrel to his temple and pulled the trigger.
Instant dead.
Brandon Lee was killed on the set because they were filming a closeup of the gun, supposedly using dummy rounds to look like live ammo.... They did the closeup of the gun firing dummy rounds, then loaded the gun with blanks and did the scene that killed him.
The "dummy rounds" used had a live primer... And when they pulled the trigger, the primer pushed the bullet into the barrel. Once the blanks were loaded for the scene, it was fired, and the pressure from the blank shot the bullet out, just as if it had been real live ammo.
Armourer was at fault for not checking the gun, as well as having a live primer in the dummy rounds.
Yes I understood the 1st incident with Hexum, but wasn't aware of the Lee details...thanks for explaining.
