I’m devastated by the death of a DP by a prop gun. A few thoughts (thread):

Armorers are amazing professionals to work with, but maybe it’s time that we stop shooting blanks entirely & make it the policy to only use Airsoft guns (or similar) & muzzle flash in post. From a filmmaking perspective, blanks SUCK. They’re extremely dangerous and under the best of circumstances they eat time.
