You've heard about the recent tragic accident involving the actor Alec >Baldwin on a film set ?!

A movie armourer once told me that he used several types and strengths
of blank ammunition, depending on what the director wanted for the
scene. It might require lots of smoke, a visible flash, or enough
blast to destroy a prop or a sugar glass window, or maybe some
combination of the above, and he would load the gun accordingly.
He would always hand the gun directly to the actor immediately before
the shot (camera shot and gun shot) and shout "live weapon on set",
and then take it back immediately afterwards, and never entrust this
to a third party. I don't know if this was a legal requirement but
it's what this particular armourer did.

Do blanks fire anything (maybe just wadding) or is the only thing to[]
come out of the barrel the combustion gases?

I read somewhere that ideally nothing else comes out, but in practice
there will be wadding, or a cardboard disc, or something (there needs to
be something in the end to keep the bang-powder inside while the blank
round is in storage - or in the gun before it is fired),
He fired one of the classic Wild West guns which used black powder (or
some equivalent) and did produce a considerable amount of smoke and a
muzzle flash (I think). Also frequently misfired and had to be reloaded.
I've fired one at a target, the recoil of the gun nearly took my ear
with it. I wouldn't want to do that again.

How clearly are the rounds of ammunition marked to distinguish between
live and blank? If blanks looked very clearly different (*), it would be
easy for an armourer to spot a live round that had got in with blanks.
Ultimately the responsibility for ensuring that live rounds are only
used when the film needs them rests with the armourer. And ideally,
using a blank wherever possible, with shots being simulated by squibs on
the objects being fired at.
I'm not sure in the recent tragic case whether the gun went off
accidently or whether the actor intentionally pulled the trigger
believing that it was not loaded.
Do blanks fire anything (maybe just wadding) or is the only thing to
come out of the barrel the combustion gases?
(*) Eg a green ring around the barrel of the round and a green fir ing
cap - green=safe.

I'm nearly 74 and have literally never so much as touched a real
working firearm in my entire life. For some reason I have absolutely
zero curiosity about what it's like even to handle one, never mind
fire one.
Not that I'm frightened of loud bangs or crazy youthful experiments,
such as encasing fireworks in clay, or connecting 25V electrolytics
across 120V radio batteries or liquid filled ones across the mains, or pouring paint thinner on a bonfire, or other exciting things of that
ilk. I've been fascinated by many things over the years, but they
don't include machinery designed with the sole purpose of punching
holes in people at a distance.

discovered that my mother had trained as a sniper during WWII, but we
were never interested in guns beyond that.
My day on the firing range was the result of making an electronic
controller for the pneumatically-operated targets at a gun club. They
gave me some practical experiencewith different firearms as a 'treat'
for doing the job. It was enough to put me off real guns for life.

Yes, well you have to allow time for the nerve transmission from the
brain to the arsehole, since that is the orifice that they speak out of ;-)
There are some very illuminating discussions on GB News.

This was from either 100 or 200 metres - I forget which - using a
bolt-action rifle.
I remember he counted every spent cartridge case at the end of the lesson

Paul R. will confirm that there were two CRT
displays still used in regional news here, one for
the Sound Super and one for the TM, to assess sync
on stuff leaving the studio (and in preview,
obviously), but that's it, and the studio in
question does exclusively NCA.
