Yes they are nice, pretty, and “ideal” heuristics…

But this is also not how Hollywood operates. It is how Hollywood should operate, and how it sometimes does, but reality is messy.

We can talk about all the obscure vocabulary of the different states of play with the guns and how Hollywood has a different vocabulary than every day gun users, gun safety and shooting clubs, etc. And how this different vocabulary literally makes everything more complicated and complex.

The point of this response is to not argue vocabulary but instead to point out how the technology with computers have advanced to the point this is all unnecessary and how we should move past the way we been doing guns in Hollywood.

This is not the 1990s anymore, it is the 2020s technology wise, we do not need to have an occurrence once again like the Brandon Lee 1993 incident of The Crow (Brandon is the son of martial art actor Bruce Lee.)

I do not have the trust in the system to do everything safely, and since we have an alternative we should move to that.

Reality is Swiss cheese, and we use multiple layers to protect and provide defense. Yet human cognition requires practice and expertise to use those layers and I do not trust Hollywood to “do the work” to learn all the layers and exercise the craft with expertise. And even then shit happens, and thus the responsible option is to take away the choice of Hollywood to do their guns except they are less lethal guns.

Sorry if my response makes people mad
