If he'd fired it during the actual take it wouldn't have been pointed at a person though. They have clear lanes to fire blanks since they spew out powder and dust, and if anything gets lodged in the barrel it can become a projectile. It's why they use dummy weapons when 'firing' with another actor in the scene.

Oh I didn't know they used clear lanes for blanks and dummy guns for "firing" at actors. Thanks for informing me
