In general, no. Actors fire blank cartridges. When you see a bullet strike a surface or the ground in a movie, that is a special effect created by a small, firecracker sized charge. That can be electrically detonated in EXACTLY the right place- because it was already placed there. Live ammunition is too dangerous, AND does not have the splashy visual effects that a movie maker wants. (Real bullets do not make sparks when they hit)

In movies and TV shows? The bullets are not real (most of the time) in movies and television. However, they do often use real guns just not real ammunition.

Why teflon tip bullets?
Some bullets are coated with Teflon to protect the barrel from excessive wear and fouling. Other coatings for bullets include molybdenum disulfide, wax, and other proprietary films. Some bullets have a plastic tip or plugs and are generically called "poly-tips" and people sometimes mistake this for Teflon. The plugs initiate rapid expansion by acting like a piston which gets driven into a hollow cavity in the bullet. Such poly tipped bullets are commonly used for hunting small or thin skinned animals. One popular type of poly tipped bullet is the Nosler Ballistic Tip.
