That prop gun had the correct blank cartridge in the chamber. Unfortunately, there was a fragment of a fake "real looking" cartridge left in the chamber from a previous shot, where they needed to "see' the bullet...

That was what was propelled out of the barrel, killing Lee...

Even if the shooter had checked the chamber, he would have seen the proper "blank" round.
