It's a movie set, play acting, there should be no live ammo on the set.
do we know there was "live ammo" on the set, assuming you are not referring to blanks?
If that info has been posted here, verifiable info, I must have missed it.
Without live ammo on the set, the incident could not have happened.
Brandon Lee was killed with a "blank." Plastic pieces entered his abdomen and he died as a result.
The only sure thing that would have prevented this is basic firearm safety procedure.
Brandon was shot with a normal projectile. At some point before the shooting, dummy rounds were used for video close-ups. The dummy rounds were normal rounds pulled to dump the powder then projectiles re-seated. At some stage the trigger was pulled on one and the squib load pushed the bullet into the barrel.
The next shot was the blank that was aimed at Brandon and the stuck projectile exited the barrel.
I stand corrected as to what penetrated him. And it goes to show you why it is imperative to never point any gun directly at someone you don’t intend to shoot. Stupid stuff can happen no matter what is checked or not. An active armourer for these types of movies says the same.
