When I heard that the crew was using the prop gun to do target shooting WITH LIVE ROUNDS with this gun during down times I was shocked. That means that every time you handle it it is IMPERATIVE that you treat it like ANY other firearm. It is NOT a prop gun that never sees live ammo.
about a year ago my brother was handling an old 9mm gun that a “gun expert” had been handling in front of him a day before. He figured that the expert would have, OF COURSE, ensured it was fully unloaded when he was handling it. So my brother, without bothering to verify that it was unloaded, simply pulled the trigger. It put a hole in the dining room table and went through the dining room wall of the house.
I just wanted to bitch slap the guy.
I did the same thing with my one of my son’s guns that was supposedly unloaded. Scary. At least I was outside.
Very dangerous and we were shocked that gun didn't go off. People are stupid.
