Anything used in a movie - is a prop. A prop firearm is a firearm on a movie set that is used in a scene. Firearms on sets are to be checked by at least two people prior to issuing them to an actor or extra. There have been a few accidents where live firearms were introduced onto the set and discharged. One of the most known, and the reason for stricter rules on sets, was when Brandon Lee was killed on set in 1993. Now very few "blanks" are used and almost all gun reports and flashes are added in post-production.
