I had to hold the bullets in my cupped hands with a tiny flashlight in my mouth in this pitch black Forrest as he rummaged through the bullets to find the blanks that we were going to SHOOT DIRECTLY INTO A FUCKING ACTORS HEAD.

was also used for target practice with live rounds earlier in the day. It's unconfirmed so take it with a grain of salt.

Why would real bullets be anywhere on or near the filming?
