Looks like they are also affected by the primer shortage!

What would you expect from our well informed new reporters about the concern.Yet so many people believe what ever they are told because after all,what ever is said on the new or internet must be gospel .Right!

Well, we can't have that dangerous ammunition in our studio! It could go off all by itself and shoot everyone! Lordy, keep it away, we all know what guns are capable of doing all by themselves let alone the deadly ammunition.......
Hey...who let jim out of jail???? Or bailed him out??
I call BS! That photo is fake, every time I ever tried to drill a primer the dang thing went off!

That's quite common for prop ammo. I have supplied studio prop departments with such ammo in the past, highly polished brass, bullet and a fired primer. It doesn't need to go bang and the insurance people are all the happier.
A lot changed in the studios with guns & ammo about 25-30 years ago when a moronic actor on the set of a Warner Bros show was playing Russian roulette with a revolver loaded with one blank, spin the cylinder & hold to the temple, pull trigger. He got away with it a couple of times as the rest of the morons cheered him on. When it went off he was dead before he hit the floor.

At the risk of drifting my own thread.....
Many years ago, a youth pastor in a small church was trying to instill upon the young people that one never knows when the time will come. To make his point, he was doing the same thing, a revolver with one blank round in it. Finally, the blank went off against his temple and he died instantly.
For a minute, everyone thought it was part of his routine. Someone finally saw the blood and realized he had inadvertently set his own time.
Foolishly playing with a gun without a clue.
I never saw primers with a bullseye for the firing pin before
Yea, I corrected Fox on a photo of a Mexican gun stash - claimed a 50 cal AA machine gun, which was really a 30 cal trench MG. Photo disappeared the next day. Reporters don't have to have much of an education (in anything), just good looks anymore.

If they dont research the topic enough to figure something as simple as this out, why does anyone look to them for news?
I watched a tv news report here in the Detroit area years ago, about an arrest made of an offender. He was carrying a revolver loaded with those infamous 'cop killer' bullets. When they showed them in the palm of the police officers hand, all I could see was a few .22 LR shotshells with the blue capsule. Even the cops had no clue!

Well since we got off on studio ammo I just have to tell this one again. I don't remember the tv show I saw this on but it was in the very early 70's, a doctor was removing a bullet from a wounded suspect while a police detective was waiting to question him. The doc dug the bullet out of the suspect's chest and held it for the detective to see, it was the whole stinkin round case and all!
Talk about not having a clue!!
