have come forward expressing shock at the apparent failures of established safety protocols on that set. Weapons safety in particular is supposed to be managed by a qualified armorer, sometimes called a “weapons master” on film sets, who retains certain certifications of expertise. Armorers assist in training actors to handle weapons properly; they also control the storage of weapons on set and personally ensure they are not loaded with live rounds.
But I will tell you, everybody says, “How do you become an armorer in Hollywood?” The famous words are, “I work for free.” There’s always somebody willing to take your job [for less pay] that will allow the corners to be cut. And some production companies want that; some of them don’t. That becomes the question here: Were the corners cut?
On sets that you’ve worked on, how does it work when an actor is going to handle and fire a firearm in a scene? What sort of training leads up to that moment, and what sort of supervision happens in the actual shooting of the scene? Ideally, if you have somebody who has never handled a firearm before, you would want to go through training a week before and have at least two to three sessions so that they understand what they’re dealing with. When we didwe had two weeks training before each filming of a re-enactment. And some of the actors said they were familiar with firearms, but once you got to the range with them, they weren’t.No, not that I can think of.
Rust isn't the only movie that prop guns have fail it's only a big deal now because there's a big thing on banning guns, but shit happens. Still sad though
And typically there are not prop guns on a set. They are real guns loaded with blanks or dummies.
Well go ahead and call them and ask what and what happened and then write a story about what they told you instead of speculation.
There is zero reason for live ammo to be on a film or TV set.
Remember Brandon Lee?
