    I mean, tbf, you do not need live ammo to make a film… The other examples do need -want for the private case- so I do not think is comparable.

      I imagine live ammo would have been removed years ago if there were truly no need for it, so there’s probably some reason it’s good to have.

          Generally speaking people like to see practical, aka “real,” effects.
