    How does that apply to a weapon that is supposed to be loaded? It’s a movie set, it’s not always intended to be unloaded, it’s intended to be LOADED but with blanks. That’s part of the reason why a movie set has personnel dedicated to ensuring the safety of every firearm. Additional reasons include: they’re swapping out identical guns for different takes, they’re doing multiple takes, actors have dramatically different levels of experience with handguns, they’re EXPECTED to point the gun at people, etc etc etc

    A Hollywood movie set isn’t the same as your basement dry-fire LARPing sessions just because they both involve acting.
