Since the projectile injured multiple people at some distance it may not have been a blank but a live round. The Old West style revolvers are somewhat difficult to check for loaded rounds as each chamber needs to be examined individually. It's possible to miscount or skip one.

And if a piece of one of those is still in the barrel when a blank goes off it becomes a real bullet. That's what happened to Brandon Lee and may have happened here. Seems like a pretty simple fix would be to say that no prop gun that touches a dummy bullet ever touches a blank. Maybe even rig them ahead of time somehow so that it's impossible to load one in the other.
