apathy is so bad not even a game thread created yet lol
lazily checking in
My emotional reinvestment in the program lasted like 7 games. Nothing that happens today, in either direction, is going to make a difference. I'm probably not alone.
Still throwing money at an NIL scheme I've committed to, but I'd be lying if I said the last couple of games didn't impact my desire to step up my investment or want to throw in again next year.

I know. This was a low budget film. How in the hell could they afford that many bullets?

A blank or wad isn't going to kill one person and injure another, it was clearly a live round.
depends on how long he'd been holding it in

It looks like shit.
Yeah that clip of the guy shooting a bunch of different guns looks bad. Good enough for a lot of people, I guess, but creative types tend to be picky.

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.
I need the gun itself to look as real as possible
I need the actors around to react to the loud noise as authentically as possible
I need the actor to feel and demonstrate the weight of the gun accurately
I need the actor to deal with recoil as realistically as possible

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.

or just follow pre-existing safety protocols that are extremely effective and not have to muck around with unnecessary post-production (also, lol @ the ejector on the mp5)

But it wouldn't add any hard training for a armorer to advise them not to point the weapon towards anyone without the shield and definitely don't pull the trigger if there isn't one present.
I would guarantee that actors are told exactly that, but accidents happen anyway.

Due to the fact that the incident happened, this is the likely reason why 2 people ended up shot.
So add extra rules to a procedure list they were ignoring anyway?

But I would like to think that an actor would have the good sense to rehearse in a way where he is not pointing towards people or when there is not a shield.
Where, on a movie set, are there not people?
Visualize the scenario in your mind.

hell yes

if you tell me that the last one is an accepted practice on movie sets because of the protocols in place, I’ll believe it but I still don’t think that should be the practice.
Why? When is the actor supposed to practice the motion?
An actor is trying to look as natural and proficient and smooth as possible with the weapon. They need to practice moving it and using it, not just at a range but before the shot. They'll need multiple takes.
There's no reason to go against the existing protocol; the existing protocol works.
This happened because the existing protocol wasn't followed.

Actors, a category of people we all know is perfectly capable of safely screwing around with guns, being able to identify their component parts, and distinguish between varying types of ammunication.

Job ? maybe not, responsible act by a guy getting ready to handle a gun ? Yeah probably.
What's he checking for? If he's got blank rounds in there then it looks just as loaded as if it were projectile rounds. What now?
Just shut up.

Hollywood has fired millions of blank rounds in the course of filming TV and movies and there have been 3 deaths. This was a tragic accident that resulted from a series of huge mistakes. It's not indicative of an actual widespread problem.
Conservatives are desperate here, and it's a stinky cologne.

Tech needs to take Traylor now. Give him 3-4 years of experience in case Sark flames out.

IMO if you're using an appropriate holster, no safety + one in the pipe is fine.
Hey I agree. I don't do handguns, but if I did that's probably exactly how I'd run it.

I don't keep a shell chambered ever unless I am about to shoot.
You don't, but you probably know plenty of guys who do or at least advocate doing it.
No safety + one in the pipe carriers are EVERYWHERE.

Yeah that's a swing, AND a miss on all 3, but hey you project all you'd like. Loaded weapons in a vehicle was a definite no always.
You knew zero people who carried a rifle or pistol in their vehicle at any time for any reason?
In your mind, every single person who carries unloads their gun every time they get in a car and reloads it when they step out of the car?
When driving a property, the gun is unloaded in the vehicle and it is only after stepping out of the vehicle the occupant pulls out magazines/ammunition and loads the weapon?
A group of guys unload their guns before putting them on the back of the mule and driving from the truck to the blind?
This is what you believe, right?
I'm not asking what you imagine best practices would be. I'm asking what you think actually happens among people who consider themselves responsible gun owners. In the real world.

The way Hollywood operates with this stuff is essentially like ignoring lock out tag out procedures and just blindly trusting that the person writing the safe work permit did everything properly. The whole system is pretty much designed to fail, and it is amazing that accidents like this aren't more common than they are now.
And yet, it basically never happens. Weird.

more than you imagine
A lot fewer than I imagined, actually. Did you even read your link. All you need to do is CTRL-F "gun" and see how rare these kinds of things are.
1 hour ago, Onboard 2.0 said:Jesus your middle name should be Darwin Award in waiting. Grew up hunting, and handling firearms, and never was a loaded weapon allowed in a vehicle for any reason. Yeah that was a big safety issue whether you recognized it or not.
You're either a liar, under 40, or a city boy. Probably all 3.

What if you’re the executive producer and your company is producing the movie in addition to being an actor? And the production has had multiple gun safety issues?
If he was running the show as EP and it wasn’t merely just a title, he might have some explaining to do. If it was just a title and someone else had the authority then he probably doesn’t. Unless he pulled the trigger and was aware of the two prior accidental discharges. Then I don’t know. Too early to tell. Baldwin could very well be a victim here.
