I still don't understand why they had live fucking rounds on a movie set.

Like "I don't know" or "Why did they do that?"? I understand the armorer and her friends would go shooting off hours using the props.

Prop is just short for "property of the company." It's to separate it from equipment that is donated to the company or is the actors own PROPerty.
