All stunts should be planned by a professional. Crew members need to be knowledgeable of all aspects of any stunts before execution and should be on the lookout for any possible hazards. If prop weapons of any kind, including guns, swords, and knives are to be used on a production, local law enforcement should be notified. The use of functioning firearms, even with blanks, are prohibited. Realistic muzzle flash can be easily added in post. When not in use, weapons should be stored in a secure container by the Weapons Wrangler. The Weapons Wrangler should always be knowledgeable of the whereabouts of each weapon at all times. If filming in public with weapons, the production set must be securely locked down and warning signs must be posted that prop weapons are in use to avoid any possible misunderstandings.
