Horrendously unsafe firearm handling!


Horrendously unsafe firearm handling. This is what you get with actors that have never handled anything but unloaded prop guns. Half the time, the Glocks didn't even have a round chambered (the trigger was back, not forward in the cocked position), and the loaded chamber indicator wasn't even protruding. More hilariously, the lead actress' character was suppsed to be knowledgeable about weapons. Sometimes she'd have her finger inside the trigger guard, when she wasn't intending to shoot! 20 pushups for that eff-up.

Many actors would add to their skills if they'd pony up 100 bucks and take a basic pistol safety class, where they'd learn all this stuff. They'd then be able to do a moire convincing job handling them on camera.
Better yet, take a class like this:
