  1. I'm sorry but I disagree... As an actor, your job isn't to test the firearm. Your job is to use the prop they give you. It's the OTHER people, prop masters/armourer/etc. As an actor, you'd have no idea if it was direct or not. Why? Because that's NOT your job. If somebody is accountable, whoever was in charge of preparing that gun, is the one who is liable!

  3.  @nibordiabla7493  Unfortunately... it sounds like somebody swapped out one of them, with an actual loaded gun, and somebody was trying to do something awful. I hate to say this, but this is what comes to mind. 😔

  4. So then what do you do when you're on a movie set and you're the actor, NOT the person who prepares it and makes sure that everything is safe? It is up to the Prop Master/Armourer to do that.

  5. EXACTLY!!!! Or... who had access to them, and possibly swapped one out?

  6. Agreed! I think somebody swapped it out, if they were unattended.

  7. Except most guns in a movie are ACTUALLY "real" guns. It's just what they are loaded with, that makes a difference. Blanks vs ammunition Empty, etc.

  8.  @nibordiabla7493  Yes! It's truly horrific! My heart goes out to the family and friends... 😔

  9.  @retard8610  You can think whatever you want. You're entitled to your opinion. Unfortunately things are different when it comes to a movie set. Unless the Actor is working directly with the prop master or Armourer (which is hardly ever the case, but should be), it is up to those two people, to make sure the gun is safe for the Actor.

  10.  @dr.killmoretreeratologist8848  I'm guessing that because it actually had a live round in it, that if he was trying to dry fire it, that the change in kickback, could've also made that happen as well.

  11. We don't know if the Armorer actually loaded them, or if somebody evil swapped out the gun with one with real ammo. That's another possibility, unfortunately. 😔 What should happen is that after the guns are all set, they shouldn't have the person's sight who's in charge of them, EVER!!!
