  1. Or we could send @Digdogger. Pretty sure he waltzes out with 20K at sunrise.
  2. The American Werewolf in London had himself a #5:
  3. She claims to have "no idea" where live rounds came from. "I'm the armorer but I wash my hands of all armorer's duties" is a bold defense strategy.
  4. On a manual system yeah, although I've sharpened mine on a Lanksy setup before (with the clamp) that seemed to be easier and more consistent. I have a Work Sharp electric that I use for my tantos that does it fast and dirty.
  5. My only complaint is that it's a bit of a bitch to use on tanto blades. I have to draw across the main edge and then change knife position to hit the tanto tip, which adds time.
  6. Counterpoint - include it along with a photo of yourself in front of a tree.
  7. Roast beef Mashed Potatoes with the RB au jus Green Beans Fried Okra Jell-O, Green or Yellow Iced Tea
  8. Seriously. That's a 9/11 storm the cockpit moment for any person nearby that saw what happened.
  9. ‘83 Ullman would have gotten it. Paul McCartney sighting @ 2:34 -
  10. Not to mention one of those singles was a fucking #1 hit which wasn't titled "I Want You To Want Me".
  11. Yeah I should have also quoted @bad_teammate when he said "unnecessary post-production". If something were to come out of this like a banning of functioning firearms on movie sets, then the post-production part would become necessary. It seems like the cost benefit is currently in favor of the guy sitting at a Mac adding muzzle blasts anyway, vs. the daily on set presence of an armorer.
  12. @henrygandorf I need your input: is post-production really going to cost you anymore than paying an armorer's wages to provide their services on set everyday? I'm talking about adding muzzle blast effects to a handful of scenes in a shitty low budget western, not Andy Serkis cave dweller FX.
  13. You can use phony guns or Airsoft guns and create CGI gun blasts complete with muzzle flash, cycling actions and ejecting shell casings with Adobe After Effects. This dude has a tutorial where it took him roughly 20 minutes to create the gunfire below. He also offers his own software pack for $99 that includes a shit ton of stock gun fire effects that he already created, that are licensed and ready for use. I'm sure there are a million other similar software tools out there. This whole situation with "is this gun hot or cold?" is so fucking pointless and stupid. RIP to the woman who lost her life because of the dumbass shenanigans at every turn. https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/create-realistic-muzzle-flashes-in-after-effects/
