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.

My basic rule when handling a gun was never keep it loaded unless you are hunting with it and always treat it as if it were loaded.
On another subject. If they were going for a sequence where a loaded pistol is fired at the audience then the bullets in the weapon would have to appear real to the audience. Especially if a real close up was involved.
