A realistic war drama filmed on a shoestring in 1985 wasn’t going to be able to afford realistic CGI effects.



This argument acts like there was never anything called in-camera, practical effects used in films for decades before. I'm certain there was something which could have been effective.

It is also irrelevant for the scene described, which was a closeup of a gun against the actor’s head which was supposed to click on an empty chamber.

No CGI was really feasible for such a scene in 1985 and most practical effects would likely have involved a very phony looking gun.


Still of the scene in question -
