      This is why you don't use real guns shooting blanks when CGI can replicate any sort of gun discharge.

      We have had gas-powered guns to simulate recoil for training since the early 1900's.

      Add CGI and it looks flawless.

        Lol no. CGI guns are not flawless, not to mention it’s painstaking to get it to a ‘good’ quality

        It looks like crap in CGI. You have every actor giving their personal interpretation of a pew pew motion and some don't pretend to have recoil at all. Then it just gives permission to continue to lower the production value until everything looks like a netflix teen drama.

            That + squibs would be good.

            I for one sorta like how hollywood has this other side where it's treated like a small country and allowed to screw around with things like live guns and explosives and stuff. I think its sorta fun and wild-westy and I think there's room for danger to still exist in the world. It is fucking terrible that a scab loaded a gun with a real round and caused Baldwin to fucking kill a woman.
