Not in a MILLION years would I allow ANY gun to be pointed at me, not a chance in hell, I don’t care how reassured anyone is about it... including my own checking.
The gun should NEVER have been pointed and fired at any person.
Is a MOVIE.
Forced perspectives and dead targets can make it look on film exactly as though you are pointing at someone without actually having it aimed anywhere near them.
I have no doubt when the investigation is all said and done, the list of safety protocol failures on this set will be numerous, even if you filter out the ones that lead to an actual bullet being in the gun.
True- the experts talking about set scenes for shooting scenes stated that on sets it’s all about angles- the guns should never be pointed at others- but you watch movies- theyt constantly point them at others, even when holdung hte guns, like across their chest, the guns are pointed at others- or rest their hand over the end of the rifle barrel- i see these scenes and just cringe- they are supposed to be portraying experienced gunmen, but pull stupid crap like that?

Me either- many things were done wrong- These folks were ‘seasoned actors and actresses’ they should have been taught by now that you can NOT take shortcuts with safety when guns are involved-
