You yokels ever heard of Star Wars?
Yep and it had only 1 CGI scene in the entire movie. It was the display of the Death Star blueprints.

They still insist on using real guns in movies. Not CGI guns, not toy guns painted black, not formerly real guns with the chamber and barrel welded shut... Real. Guns. with loads.
i've seen numerous youtube videos where people at home add realistic muzzle flashes. why that hollywood hasn't removed live guns (even with blanks) from movie sets is beyond me.

#1 rule of gun safety is, "always assume the gun is loaded."
The real #1 rule is "never let the government take your firearm".
Then...
Always point your firearm in a safe location.
Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
Never point it at something you dont intend to shoot.
Always know what is beyond your intended target.
But I know what you meant.

Anytime you use a gun you always assume it's loaded and you never point it at someone unless you intend to use it. Alec Baldwin and Hollywood's ignorance is to blame for the situation.

As I said in another post, CGI before the early 90s was generally limited to videos pre-generated for the movie like the Genesis Effect segment from the Star Trek movies.
A realistic war drama filmed on a shoestring in 1985 wasn’t going to be able to afford realistic CGI effects.

And I’ll also note this… pre-generated stuff like that was extremely expensive at the time, which is why John Carpenter went practical with his in Escape From New York instead.
Instead of having a computer generated wire frame video, they found a way to film it using models painted and lit in a way to make it look CGI.

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 -
