As someone who doesn't know the first thing about guns, and has no interest in learning, that's all really great info.
However - if I was on a movie set, playing cops and robbers, and given a PROP that someone said was "cold" I'd probably not check to see if there were bullets in it. I'd think - yup, it really IS cool to the touch or maybe nope, that's pretty warm, actually. And then I'd continue with the scene using the prop given to me.
Because I'm not a gun person, don't know the rules and etiquette of gun handling, and aren't interested in learning about real guns at all. I shouldn't have to care, if I'm just playing a makebelieve role with what I am told is a prop for a make-believe scene in a movie that isn't a documentary.
