    Yes. Blanks don’t have a bullet in the cartridge. It’s just crimped on the end

      So he needs to take the bullet out, inspect and reload? Is there additional risk making an actor do that? Honestly asking

        Not sure how there would be any additional risk as long as the actor keeps their finger off the trigger until they’re ready to shoot

      Even if he took the bullet out he would have seen it was indeed a blank. He would have had to take the bullet out and hold the barrel up to the light with the chamber open to see a previous bullet was stuck in the barrel.
