      This is why you don't use real guns shooting blanks when CGI can replicate any sort of gun discharge.

      We have had gas-powered guns to simulate recoil for training since the early 1900's.

      Add CGI and it looks flawless.

        Lol no. CGI guns are not flawless, not to mention it’s painstaking to get it to a ‘good’ quality

        It looks like crap in CGI. You have every actor giving their personal interpretation of a pew pew motion and some don't pretend to have recoil at all. Then it just gives permission to continue to lower the production value until everything looks like a netflix teen drama.

          They suggested using a gas-powered gun which simulates recoil, the actors would not have to pretend to recoil

            That + squibs would be good.

            I for one sorta like how hollywood has this other side where it's treated like a small country and allowed to screw around with things like live guns and explosives and stuff. I think its sorta fun and wild-westy and I think there's room for danger to still exist in the world. It is fucking terrible that a scab loaded a gun with a real round and caused Baldwin to fucking kill a woman.

              I think one of the divides on people's takes with this is "gun users" vs "non gun users". I think all my gun-owning friends are on the same page, that it doesn't matter what the expectations are on a movie set with a full time paid armorer might be - gun safety is the same in every situation. If someone hands you a gun and says it's safe, you check to ensure they're correct. Every single time. When bullshitting with friends, if I go get a gun to show them, I will rack the slide or operate the bolt to show it's clear, then hand it to them, then they'll do the same thing. It's an automatic habit, like putting on a seatbelt when you get into a car.
