[QUOTE="Speedo, post: 509467, member: 27223"] I read an account of the death of Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, as to how a round with no powder eventually led to his death. The regular prop man who normally took care of the guns was absent and someone who was filling in for him made up some rounds so that a camera shot would show the rounds in the cylinder for a camera shot. His idea of making the rounds safe was to remove the powder. While the gun was thus loaded someone fired it and the bullet was lodged in the barrel. Later when they needed to shoot the gun with blanks it was fired at Brandon Lee with the appropriate blank loaded, however with the bullet previously lodged in the barrel the charge in the blank was sufficient to drive the bullet out of the muzzle with sufficient force to kill Mr. Lee. Whether that account is true or not I can't say, it does sound plausible though. Gus [/QUOTE]
