I think the whole firearms expert/armorer issue distracts from what I’m really trying to get at. What if this had been a knife instead of a firearm?
If an actor had stabbed someone with a real knife instead of a prop knife, would we absolve them of responsibility because they are not a knife expert?
Here is what I’m trying to get at: at what point does treating everything on set as a prop become negligent if not everything on set is a prop? Never?

No idea why you’re getting down voted. This is exactly how I feel.
