Pvt. Steele performs the Sign of the Cross with his MGC replica M1911A1 pistol before committing suicide. The replica pistol was used for safety purposes and that the 'back of head exploding' was a squib effect and no blanks were used.

Trivia

Here's some trivia I found while listening to the commentary:

There was a large problem with the scenes with guns firing, as the blanks used would almost never be caught on film, due to the camera's shutter. This made director George A. Romero animate almost all of the gun's muzzle flashes in post production. Actress Lori Cardille also described using the Uzi during filming as having such a large recoil kick that it physically forced her back. User:jackbel
