> Cunning plot: ‘I want revenge! I know, I’ll put this live bullet that I happen to have on me in this unattended box of dummy ammo. Maybe the armorer will choose that particular round out of the box when she goes to load the gun. And maybe she won’t check, and will load the live round. And maybe she won’t rotate the cylinder properly when she demonstrates the gun is cold. And maybe nobody will notice. And maybe this live round will be under the hammer when the gun is fired. And maybe it will cause some damage. That will teach them!’

A more plausible, but still **very** unlikely revenge scheme is “I’ll put this live bullet in the box, and when it’s discovered, the filming will be shut down for days while everyone tries to figure out how this happened, and how to make the filming safe again”
