Granted I only skimmed this thread so I may have missed someone stating or posting it, but my understanding is that the Armorer is the one that doles out the prop guns and ensures their status.
Things I'd be interested to know are:
1. What were the dynamics when the gun went off (eg on-set goofing or actual scene filming)?
2. Is it part of protocol for the director's assistant to hand out the props or is it strictly the Armorer's responsibility?
3. Was the Armorer among the Union workers that were off set?
4. If everyone, including actors/actresses, handling a prop gun (real or rubber) learns/knows/follows standard safe firearm handling protocols.
I read somewhere that there were a couple of other, recent incidents involving prop guns on the Rust set. Not sure if that is true but I hope not. This is certainly tragic but a poor safety record leading in would somehow make it worse.
