Minor note on dummy ammunition. Typically it is easiest to make these with accutal bullets seated on empty casings. To differentiate from live ammunition often times a small hole might be drilled in the case wall, or if on set audio is not needed a ball bearing is put inside the casing in place of powder. Finally the primer might be left out if it doesnt need to be visible, left as a spent primer, or the primer hole filled with a type of shiny putty.
Just some of the methods i am aware of
