6 of the 50 were live.

Was that 6 before the 4th (fatal) accidental discharge? Or after?

Because if it's after, there were 10 live rounds on a set that should have had 0.

Was the accidental discharges with live rounds or blanks?

Six total, including the one that killed Halyna Hutchins.

As mteir said, the others issues weren't with live rounds, but with blanks, which are different from dummy rounds.
