That's generally true for real guns. But the quote says "a real bullet was fired from a prop gun". Maybe the "prop" functioned like a real gun, maybe it didn't. What I find a little surprising is that a prop would be able to fire a real bullet without exploding itself.

I read earlier that he was pointing the gun "at the camera" as he practiced cross-drawing. I suppose the deceased was standing very near to the camera.
