In most cases, yes. The exception is "war" films, where for extended "non-firing" shots, prop dept. will often make wooden "mock-up" look-alikes which are much easier to carry for hours at a time. For "live fire" scenes, the weapons are very real, but they use custom blanks. In the case of automatic weapons (submachineguns, self-loading rifles, etc.) there is a "choke" inserted in the barrel to increase back pressure, as few automatic weapons will cycle correctly with the low-power blanks. Blanks have a different sound than live ammunition, and partially for that reason, and partially to be able to control the sounds of the weapons properly in remix, the "authentic" sound of the weapon firing is dubbed in during the remixing stage.

Why do I always feel that the bullets are not real?

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. Recently, Alec Baldwin shot a crew member with a real bullet during the filming of a new movie or TV show. Apparently, there was live ammo in the gun he used but there was supposed to be "blanks" or fake ammo in it.
