Another option is that the gun was modified to a movie prop. It could have a cap screwed on with a very small hole to balance the blast and then fire blanks. With the hole small enough that the blanks would just cycle the toggle, but not look too odd for the movies or stress the action. HOWEVER, I would expect such a solution to have regular threads, no need for an 'interrupted set.' Alternately, is there a movie/ TV show that shows very quick placement of a (false) silencer on the front for a scene?
