In Jarhead (2005), Swofford never puts the finger on the trigger during his whole mental breakdown. Not only this shows that he didn’t actually want to shoot Fergus, but that he knows his rifle is loaded with live ammo: he wants to die, and wants Fergus to kill him.

Even as an actor I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting my finger on the trigger during a scene.
