    How would a fake gun make the sounds? Guess you could add in editing afterwards but the cleanest, easiest and most realistic would always be to use a real gun with blanks I would have thought. But I’m not a movie producer, so idk

    Could also be that even if you’re able to get similar quality gun shots off a fake gun, it would cost a lot more in production etc

      Ah, didn’t realize that’s what they did. I thought they just fired fake guns (eg something like an airsoft gun with gas blowback or something fancy )and edited the sounds in later.

      From what understand, guns are silly loud. Much louder than they sound in movies.

      But I’ve never fired or even held one, so what do I know :)

        I don’t actually know how they do it in movies but from this one example I’m assuming it was industry standard but I could be wrong.

        Other movies might do what you said e.g. airsoft gun or fake gun, with edited sounds later

        I do find it hard to believe the industry standard is to use real guns with blanks but it may be that way. It’s a lot simpler, but obviously more dangerous

        And yes guns are very loud, after a gun goes off beside you, you will have a sort of numbing in your ear for a few seconds and you can’t hear anything out of it lol
