    you don’t change the system. letting the actor check the mag/clear the chamber adds an additional point of failure in the process and reduces safety for everyone on set.

    if you want to change things you stop filming with hot weapons entirely.

      I don’t get why they aren’t using altered guns that can’t accommodate real ammo? Seems crazy to use a fully functioning gun

      You don’t have the actor check the weapon instead of the armorer. You have them check it in addition to the armorer. You pick up a gun, you check it.

      This is basic gun safety. If a gun ever leaves your direct control or observation, no matter how short, you check it.

        So now all kinds of people who aren’t experts are unloading and loading the gun? That’s insane
