  • Emergency Gun Meme Review time! You guys have been blowing me up asking for it, so at the risk of being too spicy again, let’s drive right in. This time, the rabid anti-gunner Alec Baldwin proving he’s the one who shouldn’t be trusted with a gun.

    About Me
    My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
    I've started to dedicate this CZcams channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
    Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

      @americankid7782 gun safety is one of those skills that SHOULD be taught early. I was like 10 when my grandfather drilled in my head the fundamentals.
      1) treat a gun as if it's always loaded.
      2) clear the chamber before handing it off to someone or putting it in it's case
      3) don't point at anything you don't intend to destroy
      4) pointer off the trigger until it's time to shoot
      5) bullets go through shit. Check what's behind your target

    • @americankid7782
      @americankid7782 Před 9 měsíci

      @@finnmurtons8727 I think I was taught the rules when I was around 10 as well. Though the exact rules were slightly different.
      1. Treat every firearm like it is loaded.
      2. Never point a firearm at something you do not intend to destroy.
      3. Keep you're finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
      4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
      For me, checking to see if the chamber is clear isn't really a rule because if you are following the main 4 nothing bad should come from that. I still do it but I consider it more of a safety precaution.

      I live in a country with little to no gun related deaths and quite the amount of hunters and sport shooting. As a paramedics we receive basic firearms safety training. I did several practical courses specifically held by local police to train us to properly handle firearms at sights of injury ( due to cleaning accidents and suicides). Which are almost the only gun related deaths we have. Rarely cleaning accidents , mostly injuries rarely deaths and suicides. In my years of service I had two gun related incidents. One suicide and one hunting rifle accidentally discharge and injure the person cleaning his gun. Our statistics go as in 5-8 deaths per year for our entire country. I'm no gun expert, but I know how to safely handle most firearms and due to private interest learned how to maintain , field strip and clean lots of them from a hunter friend.

      I think this is somehow going to turn up as "evil gun bad, shoot people dead, gun bad" instead of "hey, that guy was handling a firearm without proper training"

      When you connect the word together with another as a single item like "prop gun" though, that is implying that it is _just_ a prop, not real. You wouldn't call a chair or a glass a "prop chair" or "prop glass" if it was just a regular chair or glass, only if it was one of those special ones you mention. So "prop gun" is 100% the media trying to cover for him.

SO, functionally, it is the same as any other gun and is still a working firearm that is able to fire any round that it is chambered for. It is the ammo that is different and only dummy rounds are meant to be used

    @Papercut337 Před 2 lety +7

    A “prop” is property of the studio. A real, live-firing gun can, indeed, be a prop. The thing that pisses me off is that people conflate a prop gun with a gun that can’t shoot live ammunition.

    The "prop master" was a twenty-something female who was scared of guns, didn't know much of anything about them, and was only working on set through family connections. She somehow wasn't fired after the THREE negligent discharges in the previous days. All the pros had left the set and the Union confirms this. *No one qualified had handled that firearm.* Yes, it should go without saying, it's basic and I mean BASIC firearms safety, but there were no grown-ups in the room. I'm very sorry anyone is dead but it was practically foretold.

    Filmmaker here;
    Seems that there’s confusion in the wording here. A Prop is any item that an actor interacts with in a scene, therefore, any Gun given to an actor to be handled in a scene is a Prop. However, there are dedicated Prop-Guns designed to be safer for people to interact with on set, but many revolvers used as props are often (especially in low budget film) real guns.
    Anytime a gun (real, prop, or completely fake) is brought onto set it’s supposed to be checked to be cold before it leaves the armors hands. The AD (assistant director) grabbed the gun, and didn’t check it before handing it to Baldwin but chose to say that it was cold. Cold is a disarming word that means safe, no one needs hearing protection, and not to worry as it’s pointed around set.
    There is a difference in a Prop-Gun, and a Gun being used as a prop. Alec Baldwin was handed a real gun that was hot with live rounds.
    Hope this clears up a bit.

    OK, glossary time, from a Fight Director and Gun Wrangler:
    *Prop Gun*: Any firearm or object intended to resemble a firearm which is used on a film set
    *Blank Firing Gun*: A prop gun which resembles a weapon, built explicitly to fire blanks (usually 8mm, and no, not 7.92x57) and cannot be loaded with real ammunition.
    *Blank-adapted Gun*: A real firearm, capable of firing actual ammunition, which has been adapted with a (usually hidden) device to partially block the barrel and create enough chamber pressure to cycle the action. Is loaded with blank ammunition, but in the same caliber as real ammunition (ie, 5.56x45mm quarter-load blank; .30-06 full load blank). These tend to be "Hero Props"; used for close-ups and/or shots showing the disassembly or loading of the weapon. If you put a real slug down the barrel, you will get a burst barrel at the least.
    *Live Gun*: a real, unmodified, firearm, capable of accepting and successfully firing actual ammunition. We try never to use these, but occasionally it ends up happening, particularly with older firearms in historical films, and especially on films on a limited budget. Watch your Gun Wrangler go nuts with safety protocols if one of these is around.
    *Electric Non-Gun*: Electrically actuated prop which has a motor which moves the slide, kicks out empty brass cartridges, and ignites flash paper contained within the muzzle to simulate muzzle flash. These are custom-built by prop houses for pretty high amounts (5 figures), not commercially available, and are often the target of legal action by the real firearm companies since they necessarily resemble the real thing. Getting an Electric Glock is damn easy. Getting an Electric LeMat is not a thing, and you'd have to have it custom built and wait 6-18 months.
    *Rubber Gun*: aka "stunt gun:" a rubber or silicone casting of a real firearm, painted to look genuine. Use of these is preferable at all times, unless there is a very specific reason to use anything else.
    *Blank Round*: An explosive cartridge with an explosive propellant in various quantities (full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, primer only), a primer to set off the propellant, and a casing to hold it all, with no explicit projectile.
    *Dummy Round*: A non-explosive cartridge consisting of a slug, casing, and sometimes a primer (the "pop" helps with sound keying), often used for closeup shots
    *Live Round*: An actual, real, bullet-firing cartridge, with all 4 parts in there (slug, casing, powder, primer) and which SHOULD NEVER BE ON A GODDAMN FILM SET, EVER, PERIOD
    Irritatingly, there are also term groups. A "Hot" gun is any prop gun which is has detonation-capable ammo in it. A "Cold" gun is any prop gun either incapable of accepting detonation-capable ammo, AND any prop gun which is capable of accepting that ammo, but which has been verified (usually by at least 2 people in direct visual contact) to be unloaded at that moment. Additionally, "Live" ammunition refers not only to a real round with all 4 components, but also to any round capable of any sort of detonation. So a dummy round with a primer in it can be considered a "live" round, and a blank can also be considered a "live" round. Unsurprisingly, all of this is confusing when getting reports from the media, because terms which work in the context of being there on set don't necessarily translate to the breathless invective thrown about in the media. So when the media says that there was a "REAL GUN ON SET OH GOD", was it a Live Gun, or a Blank-Adapted Gun? Because one of those is WAAAAY more dangerous than the other one. Both are real guns, but the odds of a slug coming out the barrel of one of them and killing someone is a LOT lower for one of them than the other.

You'd think the actor would double check their shit, especially when it's so easy with a revolver, before discharging it OR at least take into account two of the most _basic_ rules of handling firearms; don't ever point a gun at something you don't intend to destroy and treat every gun like it's loaded.

  • @jlee7811
    @jlee7811 Před 2 lety +433

    What everybody misunderstands about Brandon Lee’s death was just how stupid it was and how it could have been avoided. In that case it was a real smith and Wesson model 629 revolver. The prop master/armorer had made “dummy rounds” for close up shots by removing the gunpowder from real bullets, but left live primers in the casings. At an unknown point during filming, one of these dummy rounds went off and the bullet was forced just barely out of the case into the barrel, essentially a squib load. During a later scene, when the gun was loaded with blanks, the pressure from the blank cartridge was enough to force the squib out the barrel at lethal velocity. Without having all the information, I can’t say for certain, but reading some of the articles online, it sounds like the armorer for Rust (Hannah Gutierrez) had very little experience and a history of malpractice. That being said, it’s inexcusable to me that the assistant director just picked up a gun without checking its status and handed it to an actor who also did not check it, and then pointed it DIRECTLY at someone. We all know that you never take the condition of a gun that is transferred to you for granted. When you let inexperienced and careless people train and supervise COMPLETELY untrained and careless people, this sort of thing is bound to happen. And now studios are virtue signaling that they won’t use “real guns” on productions anymore. Obviously we can’t hold anyone in Hollywood responsible so we have to get rid of the big bad guns. That’s obviously the problem.

    "Prop gun" = "We want to pre-emptively absolve Alec of anything we can by confusing you." In the world of movies, there have been solid, non-firing guns used as props, made from different materials, but generally they use real guns. They get sourced from a hand-full of armories that exist in LA and companies that are near their filming locations. There is one or two in Bracketville (or have historically) that has serviced all the movies done at the fake Alamo out there. Either the prop master or armorer sources and manages the guns used in a film.

      Yup, it's how Forgotten Weapons; Ian (for anyone that doesn't know) was able to review a live, registered, legal RPG-7 and fire a demo shot.

      Right lmfao. They even said it fired a live round. How tf does that work exactly if it's a prop? Sounds to me like it was a firearm but wtf do I know. I called that out as soon as the story broke. Everyone was commenting and saying it was probably a blank gun and he fired it at too close of a range and the gas jet did it or it exploded and I was sitting there like "there ain't no way a blank gun firing at close range killed one person and injured another and most definitely not a blowup if Alec Baldwin wasn't injured at all."

      Exactly! I kept seeing prop gun all over Twitter and it was pissing me off. If a gun can fire real ammunition it's a just a gun. It's not like it was a block of wood or a replica or something that an act of divine intervention magically converted it to a standard, lethal weapon the moment he pulled the trigger.
