Two Points, real weapons are used very often in movies and TV.
Case in point was a few years ago when a bonehead actor was in bed for a scene. Before cameras rolled he was playing with a wheel gun and put it up to his head and fired. The wadding at close range from the blank made a very fine hole thru his cranium, He died a few hours later.
The second point is a missing movie from the list.
Possibly, IMHO the best WW2 film made, John Frankenheimers, "The Train"
Starring Burt Lancaster. If you have never seen it make the effort, it is based on a real situation, and was made extremely well, right down to the actual blowing up of a FULL RAIL YARD. The french wanted to reguage the yard so let em blow it up for cash.
