Its like when someone said they used airsoft guns on trailer park boys when in many interviews with actors, producers, directors, and the like all say they use real guns with extra loud blanks.
Do you have a clue what you're talking about? I have been a part of movie productions pal, and there's more to it than simple availability. Things like the cost of blanks (sometimes up to $1.00 PER SHOT), insurance, cost of renting the guns, and paying the gun handler to look after them (because a props master doesn't). Besides which, it's been confirmed that Peter Kang supplied TM AEGs to the series.

TPB is quite obviously blank firing; where did I say it wasn't? You may want to rethink your cunning non-sequitur statements through a bit more thoroughly next time.
