Theatrical Firearms Safety

Theatrical firearms safety involves strict procedures to prevent accidents during production. Always treat all guns as if they are loaded, never point them at anyone, and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Use proper weapon handling techniques, ensure firearms are loaded only when actively in use, and double-check that safety measures, such as locks or barrel caps, are in place when not in use. Only trained personnel should handle firearms, and communication among crew is critical. These practices help ensure a safe environment for actors and crew while maintaining the illusion of realism.
