You can do this with some stock footage, or small firecrackers

I have seen footage my friend did using a slingshot and dirts clod for ground hits he used chalk for wall hits. The wall had to be white though. It was alright I guess.

Are you sure the side of your house would look like a wwII set? Anyway, just get some small firecrackers and place them on your grass, have them set off, and mark where they are for a stunt man to run past

Or even paint in holes frame by frame!
Just use a slingshot or something simple. It'll work fine.

He dosn't want bulet holes, bullet hits, In the film grayson, they use small firecrackers for machine gun fire, and it looked amazingly real.

I3lade203, your firecracker method is too impractical. I mean even you should understand the word illegal, being in New York and everything...

It's not illegal to everybody, but around here its a law nobody really cares about, anyway.. for my next thing I have a liscensed pyrtoquinucian so that way I can use them legally.

Yeah, as long as it's not illegal in your area. If not go stock footage ( Not really gonna work well in grass ) or slingshot hits onto dirt ( also not gonna look good on grass )
