Checking a gun you are about to handle is one of those important things. |

Furthermore, another question that has gone under the radar is how the Baldwin shooting also led to the wounding of director Joel Souza. It wasn’t a “prop gun.” It was an actual gun that was being used as a prop. TMZ reported on the development that sources close to the filming of “Rust” indicate that the gun used in the incident was also used off-set for “target practice.” “The smoking gun that claimed the life of Halyna Hutchins might’ve been more than just an on-set prop — it was also being fired recreationally, even when cameras weren’t rolling,” TMZ reported. “Multiple sources directly connected to the ‘Rust’ production tell TMZ … the same gun Alec Baldwin accidentally fired — hitting the DP and director — was being used by crews members off set as well, for what we’re told amounted to target practice,” the report added. According to the BBC, a “prop gun” could mean a range of items, “from non-functioning weapons to cap guns… But it can also mean a real weapon, or one adapted for firing blanks.” However, Hollywood should ban the term from applying to actual firearms. All of these guns used in the USA for films are 'real guns.' Especially period revolvers--which just use blank ammo, which is brass that is crimped over without any type of wadding. These cartridges are specially made for films. So with a revolver used on a film--yes it is a real gun and not a reproduction toy that shoots caps. And yes a real round can be swapped into them and fired. As for semi-and full auto weapons--yes these are real weapons as well, but they are heavily modified to shoot blank, crimped ammunition---and modified from a pinned barrel adapter to modify the the blow-back or recoil operation. And if you were to put a live round in one of these types of weapons it would literally blow up in your face. Period rifles and bolt action guns like Mausers or lever action weapons are not modified--and they will shoot live ammunition. It is the responsibility of the 'armorer' or 'gun wrangler' who are heavily licensed individuals and heavily trained to handle weapons and control weapons on movie sets. I am speaking from experience here as I wrote several articles for major gun magazines on this subject and had unlimited access to the largest movie armories in California for my article. |
