The Negatives of Collecting Milsurps

[CINDERS]

The conspiracy theories have started apparently the police have started the investigation by saying the round may have been planted, we will let it develop, I still remember Brandon Lee being shot by a prop gun.
You'd think with all the replica fire arms the world they'd use them but I guess you don't get the wow factor in the movie if the action does not cycle, or the belt does not move on the MG because they are using a LPG gun.

by saying the round may have been planted

I read a report that some of the crew were doing live-fire for fun elsewhere on the ranch with the prop guns. With such lax standards...and the prior safety violations of the armorer (fired from other sets), I suppose it could be possible that left-over live ammunition was put back in whichever box they saw first when putting things away for the day. I think
Gross, even criminal, negligence is simplest most evident reason given what we've seen so far.
Also, from what I read of the SOP for those sets, when an actor is finally handed a firearm they are supposed to perform the final check. There are supposed to be 3 different people, beginning with the armorer ending with the actor, who check the weapon in succession, and it's not supposed to lay out in the open in between. Hell, even in USMC coming off the firing line...I would clear my weapon and make sure it was safe...the RSO on the line would do it next...shoving a cleaning rod in from the muzzle. Then before leaving the range grounds for the day an NCO would clear again. Been a long time since I've heard of a negligent discharge off the firing line.
