Corners are cut in every single walk of life where familiarity is in play.
Comments from other actors/movie sets suggest that the protocols are followed very strictly. As they should be.
If corners were cut people should be prosecuted
I think that’s also my point. I don’t believe other actors / movie set folks.
Not sure why, just don’t.

Agreed, but not in the area of expertise of people you hire specifically for that purpose.
I wouldn't have taken live ammunition to the site. I would've provided an inert weapon for the setup and rehearsal of the scene until the cinematographer was happy. Then loaded and provided the gun with blank ammunition in front of the actor, providing it to the actor personally, not through an intermediary and let everyone on set know he had a "hot weapon".
If the familiarity came from the actor, the deputy director etc. then that in my opinion still rests on the armourer for not having the strength of character to insist - do it properly or don't do it at all.

Did I read they used them for target practice with real guns? I can't believe they would be so stupid.

Shame it was a regular person that died and not a celebrity.
Well that’s a nice way to view the world. What an awful thing to write.
Yeah, I just don't get that. We make them celebrity, not them.

@tim I have heard Cage is a bit of a fluffybunny to work with on set

It's awful to suggest I'd swap the life of a celebrity for this young woman? Hmm, ok. Each to their own I guess. I'd suggest it's worse to suggest the opposite honestly.
At least we have diverted from the too soon jokes though.

Judging by what he presents on screen this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest
