“There is no fathomable reason to use blanks anymore when it costs like 50 cents to add gunfire in post and even less reason to use them during a day scene where there is little to no interactive light,” Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison said in an Instagram Story post.
Visual and sound effects like muzzle flashes, flying shell casings and loud gunfire pops can be added in postproduction. For closer-range frames, gunfire can be mimicked with the use of Airsoft guns, said a person familiar with handling props and weapons on sets. Non-operational replicas - made of wood, plastic or rubber - are regularly used for scenes filmed at a distance.
