Additionally, Blanks and dummy rounds are two different things.
Blanks have powder and a cap and will fire, but theres no projectile. They are visually different than a dummy or real round.
Dummy rounds look like a real round but have no powder.
You don't "burrow" a real round to make a blank. You also don't burrow a real round to make a dummy, you purchase dummy rounds that were never manufactured with powder.
Now, you CAN empty a live round to make a dummy, but its dangerous and stupid when you can just order them that way, and any armorer should know better.

He doesn't make any sense whatsoever? He seems pretty reasonable to me.
Anyway, he's actually not where I first heard that some sets convert live rounds into dummies or blanks, it's quite shocking when I first read about that, and is probably a good answer to the question why many ppl ITT are wondering why the hell live rounds are present. You say that legit dummies and blanks are available so the $1M question is why are apparently many sets still crazily converting live rounds instead of buying them?
EDIT: I just recalled an old video that supposedly when they were filming Lord of War (Nic Cage), it was cheaper for them to buy REAL guns instead of fake ones, so maybe that's a possible answer to my above, which is still crazy, putting $ savings ahead of safety.
