    They mostly have, but the armorer on this set wasn't a union guy, so he could have been any yahoo with prop guns.

    So this guy had no training from the IATSE or prop maker's union.

        One of my favorite relatives was a chemical engineer from the 60's till the 90's and one time when the chemical worker's union striked the company tried hiring scabs, and they told him he needed to go down there and help train them. Not wanting to die in a horrible chemical fire he told upper management to go fuck themselves, no one in his department would go inside a chemical plant run by scabs he said, and he refused to answer the phone. They folded shortly thereafter.

          If it keeps generating profit it doesn’t need to be handled as a mistake :porky-happy:

      Might not have been a real prop gun even. I've heard of stage accidents from people with people who don't get that a blank charge is actually a two feet long plasma lance.

          When the gun goes bang it still throws out a bunch of very hot, very fast gas along with anything in the barrel (debris etc) that can still kill you if you’re close.

          It's a Shelly Poem, about a traveller encountering a single broken statue in a desert with the phrase "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair" written on it. The idea being the arrogance of man is wiped away by time.

          I am comparing the above comic of a monument to that, except the chuds were all forgotten inside 4 years.

            I could wrong, but I am relatively certain that is not an accurate description of how a gun loaded with a blank fires.

        They did this in the movie "in bruges". The main guy grabs another dudes gun and they're like "jokes on you, they're blanks, so the main guy puts it up to the guys eye and fires.
