When a real .50 caliber rifle is fired, there is a terrific concussion. It can easily break nearby glass (and ear drums). The blanks for the movie don’t have that effect, but I was hoping to imply it by having the window break. FX man Peter Chesney rigged a spring-loaded hammer to break the window when the gun was fired (we didn’t have a permit for explosives that day). The timing was a bit late, but we had no time for retakes and had to move on.
