The question is not if you can do it, it is whether it can be done SAFELY- and without going to prison.

Guns made ONLY to fire blanks must be designed and constructed so that they cannot fire "ball"- or real- ammunition. Many are constructed of inferior metals, since they do not need to contain the high forces generated when firing ball ammo. These are very likely to disintegrate without warning, causing injury from flying metal bits.

Convert a blank gun to something that can fire ball ammo, but does not have a rifled barrel, and you have just built a "short barreled shotgun". Or at best, an "any other weapon". Under US law, these must be registered with the BATFE before building- penalty is 10 years prison if you don't.

While actual firearms CAN fire both blanks and ball ammo, a blank gun cannot safely do so.

Are real bullets ever used in films?

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)
