00:00I saw the trailer for your new movie The Night They Came Home. It looks very authentic and I saw
00:05a lot of gunfire because that's what makes a great western but now when I see this gunfire
00:09in movies all I can think about is the mishap on the set of Rust. How does that work on
00:15these sets
00:15and has it changed since the days of loading a gun on Bonanza? Several productions no longer
00:21allow real firearms on the set. They use replicas. From an acting standpoint it's a thrill to shoot
00:27a full load blank. It helps your acting. If you take that away you've taken one of the tools I
00:32use as motivation. I like shooting blanks. And how was it back in the 70s when you'd be handed a
00:38gun?
00:39The armor would come around and load each pistol for the actors and make sure they understood
00:44these things are hot and they're ready to go and people weren't getting hurt with blanks.
00:48The movie guns were allowed to leave that and be fired with real ammo. Obviously one of the real
00:54bullets stayed in the guns that killed that cinematographer.
