3. Starline doesn't manufacture ammunition. It manufactures brass casings.

The brass is one of four components required to make a live round. Starline brass has the caliber, and one or more stars stamped on the base of the case. If someone loads a Starline case with a primer, powder and bullet, it will bear the Starline logo, but they didn’t load the round, or ship it.

Even if they did, it does not excuse the armorer and assistant director from making sure it was a dummy round, both visually, and by sound.
