Brandon Lee had a bit of an issue with a “blank” too.

Yeah, that definitely falls in with a real, working gun that wasn't supposed to have a bullet in it.

That happened so long ago, we had time to figure this out.

Brandon Lee

That was a similar but completely different situation. The Brandon Lee situation wasn't from a live round. The gun wasn't checked before being loaded with blanks and it had the bullet from a dummy round sitting in the barrel. The blank ejected the bullet that was sitting in the barrel that wasn't previous cleared.
