If people were bored and wanted to plink cans, fine. DON’T USE THE FUCKING OFFICIAL PROP GUNS.

Several lines of responsibility got lazy on that set. The most egregious is that someone other than The Armorer had access to the guns used on set.

I couldn't find any reference to them plinking cans onset. The version of the story I read says she got the rounds from her dad, and they were "reloaded" rounds that had originally been dummies but were made live by hand. Basically her dad's a careless armourer who mixes reloaded rounds with dummies and didn't teach his daughter to check her ammo.

Ok. I heard some story from an online media site (thus not nesc accurate) of bored crew using the guns as real guns for target shooting.

What ever. Your story sounds better? Esp. considering the outcome.

Can I see your story? Something about this whole event grips me. I can't learn enough about it.

I’ve no idea where it was, sorry. Can’t put in the time to find it right now.

It’s probably incorrect anyway. It’s all a sad story.
