I’ve worked on plenty of low budget pictures that involved simulated gunfire. I’ve never been on location in New Mexico, so I don’t know what they do there.
I’ve never seen anyone involved in the recreational activity of plinking, either during the working day or after the day was wrapped. Even on the most modestly budgeted movie, the armorer kept weapons and the prop ammunition under lock and key until they were needed on set. When a set up was complete, the actors immediately turned the guns (whether real or non-firing) over to the armorer, even if they would be used in the next set up.
This is obviously for safety, but it’s even more basic than that. If we were talking about any other prop, you would never allow an actor or crew member to leave the set with it. Imagine a crew member wandering off with a prop book because he or she was bored between takes! It would never be permitted! The idea of crew (other than prop master or property assistants) taking ANY prop off the set is ridiculous, and I really have to wonder about the professionalism of that crew in New Mexico—and the producers who hired them.
The prop master, the armorer, and the ADs (not just Hall) were not doing their jobs if they allowed this behavior anywhere near the set. The boredom of downtime is not an excuse, nor is it a satisfying explanation.

@timcotterill3952 It didn’t used to be like this. It might sound like a fairy tale, but once upon a time, the GOP was the party of ideas. And the truth is, some of those ideas worked. Some only worked up to a point, and some didn’t work at all. The party was guided by principles, but could use those principles to adapt to constantly changing conditions. (And I’ll admit, sometimes conservative principles were misapplied.) There was also a foundation that conservative Republicans shared with liberal Democrats, the bedrock of American democracy and respect for its institutions.
If that sounds weird, it’s because the modern GOP is 180° from where it was. Contrary to what many believe, the cause wasn’t Trump. Trump is a cancer, but the GOP had become fertile ground for such a cancerous polyp long before Trump won the party nomination in 2016. The GOP began changing course (imho) when Newt Gingrich became ascendant. To be frank, Gingrich laid down a red carpet for fascism to enter the GOP.
