I am a filmmaker who lives in Dayton OH. I'm working on a film where in a scene a character shoots the other. I have studied stunt/handling of firearms as well as participated in NRA weapons classes over the years. My location is on the boarder of downtown but is in the city limits. I have a weapons supervisor who has been trained using and handling firearms for 45+ years as my stunt coordinator. As long as we let everyone inside the building know as well as let the local PD know about whats going on as well as permission from the location itself. Should there really be a problem in shooting the scene?
The blank weapon cannot be converted to fire live ammunition. It is strictly a blank pistol. Which means it cannot fire a projectile. Wouldn't it be considered a replica firearm/starter pistol?

This is something you need to talk to your local PD about, Nobody here can give you an answer because we simply don't know. We're modders for a game that is about law enforcement, we're not law enforcement ourselves. 

generally in the past as long as the your local police have it logged with them it should be fine. I know in New Zealand all we have do when playing air soft or going pest hunting we give the police communication centre a  call and they will advise all the local units of whats going on. sometimes they will come have a nosey just to make sure every thing is all good. dunno how it works where your from. but yeah go speak to your local pd, invite them out and show them whats going on so they don't send a bearcat your way

Don't ask us - Ask a lawyer / your local police department.
