    Safely check WHICH gun?

    The live firing weapon? The blank firing gun? The resin replica? Are they expected to remove any rounds in a firearm, be it live or replica, and verify that it is indeed a blank?

    No. That is ONE person’s job for a reason. That is the firearms expert’s job. Nobody else’s.

    You accept that responsibility with the job.

        The one in their hand.

        So they need to be trained how to spot the difference between a live and blank round and how to check every firearm on the set.

        OR

        You could just have one person that’s an expert on firearms do that for everyone, thereby eliminating any possibility that an untrained know-nothing actor accidentally lights off a round while fumblefucking with a firearm they know nothing about, trying to check it.

        Hey genius, what good does “checking” a firearm do if they’re literally there to fire off blank rounds?
