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.
