Hollywood armourer Guillaume Delouche said there were usually multiple safety checks before guns were used on film sets

Hollywood armourer Guillaume Delouche, who has been supplying weapons to filmmakers for three decades, with 75 titles to his name, said there were usually multiple safeguards against tragedy.Even though adding digital effects in post-production is relatively easy and cheap nowadays, a lot of directors and actors prefer to use real guns, said Mr Delouche, citing added authenticity.

"When you give the actor a latex or plastic gun and add the effect of the bullet later with digital effects, there is still a clear difference."Protocols are necessarily strict, said Mr Delouche, comparing the double and triple checks with the way airplane safety systems operate. "The weapons are kept in a safe. Once they are on the set, we organise the blank ammunition, which is marked and colour-coded to differentiate it."When we put blanks in a gun we announce it, several times.""We have very strict safety distances: you can't have someone less than 20 feet - or about six metres - in front of a weapon when it is fired.

Always treat a gun as live and why did he fire it since he wasn’t an actor and the person he killed was the person behind a camera, he should be charged with negligent homicide, and anyone around guns wether blanks or live should not point them at anyone thats common sense
