You usually want them to be shot, at least with blanks. Nowadays you could probably fake that well with CGI, but using blanks is probably easier (and thus cheaper).

On automatica, they have to put partial obstructions inside the barrels to provide enough back-preasure to cycle the weapons without a bullet. That also means they cannot fire a live round.

Revolvers don't need the same modification to operate with blanks, but after The Crow and this, they really should have it done anyway.

Well, that or have the actors learn this information:

BEFORE filming starts. Make them take a class on it for all I care and don't let them touch real guns if they fail. Simple as. If an actor (or literally anyone) can't even learn Col. Jeff Cooper's Four Rules they don't deserve to touch something they could kill someone with. And this clown should know how fucking easy that should be, not making stupid excuses about job titles precluding you from responsibility of safety precautions.
