Whenever you have to use a prop gun that may or may not be filled with live rounds, instead of simply using it and trusting that most probably it doesn't have live rounds, shoot it into something other than a human being to check first. Every single time.

There. Hundreds of lives saved.

You're welcome.

This may be a stupid question but why would they use a loaded gun on a movie set to begin with anyway?
