Isso foi discutido com o showrunner Jonathan Nolan em entrevista ao Rotten Tomatoes. Em suma, são os marcadores que são especiais, não as armas.
With the same guns, the guests can blow the hosts away, but then the hosts still come back the next day.
“It’s not the guns,” Nolan said. “It’s the bullets. We thought a lot about this. In the original film, the guns won’t operate guest on guest, but we felt like the guests would want to have a more visceral experience here. So when they’re shot it has sort of the impact. They’re called simunitions. The U.S. military trains with rounds like the ones we’re talking about. But there’s a bit of an impact, a bit of a sting. So it’s not entirely consequence-free for the guests.”
