and how it came to be that an actor was handed a loaded gun and was told it was cold is a matter of criminal neglect on the part of the armorer and the first AD. I was just on a set with a gun just a few weeks ago. And our prop master and amrmorer are real pros. They made the actors both look at the gun as per the protocols before every take.There was a point where we were all kind of rolling our eyes.
rest assured when this horrible accident happened most of the crew and the actors on our show took time to thank out propmaster for his professionalism.
It's easy for an actor to not worry about a gun on set and trust the crew. They are often very focused on the performance. and it's really really rare when something goes wrong. So as much as we respect those protocols there are moments, like take 15 with the same gun that we get lazy.
