You can't fake the recoil of firing a gun so if they're going for realism, it has to be real guns loaded with blanks.

I don't entirely understand why there would be live ammo on set at all though - I assume maybe for other scenes where the set/props are shot with live bullets; perhaps that's the change in rules that's needed though. You can't accidentally load live rounds if there are strictly NO live rounds anywhere on set.

Someone must have left the real bullets. I think for the scene they were supposed to be blanks.
