I’m all for additional security measures but they flat out admitted to not checking individual ammunition (blanks, live, and dummie rounds), which already have visual and auditory differentiators. People didn’t take their jobs seriously and a woman is dead because of it, the change needed, regardless of anything else, is ensuring people take the fucking job seriously or everything gets halted on the spot before an accident happens.
I still don't understand why they had live ammunition onset at all. Apparently it was there so they could shoot some Coke cans with the gums afterwards? If that's the real reason she brought them she deserves to go down because that's bloody stupid.
OK that's something. I think if this identification is general, I'd personally check every single round if I was an actor. Both for guns I hold, and guns that are potentially pointed at me.
If that's a problem for the producer, they should get proper prop guns.
