In this instance it was pointing the gun directly at the camera to where you see the "dummy" rounds in the cylinder. Even in this instance the camera operator is usually behind thick plexiglass or off camera operating focus remotely. But of course due to "budgetary concerns" they didn't practice this simple task.
Much different with semi autos where you need to plug barrels to make the gun "cycle" with low pressure loads like 1/4 and 1/2 blanks which you use indoors or exteriors in neighborhood locations where you want to keep the sound of gunfire at a minimum.
Just a bad situation all around to save a few bucks.
