The Actors’ Equity Association’s guidelines state that, “Before each use, make sure the gun has been test-fired off stage
and then ask to test fire it yourself. Watch the prop master check the cylinders and barrel to be sure no foreign object or dummy bullet has become lodged inside.” Further, “All loading of firearms must be done by the property master, armorer or experienced persons working under their direct supervision.”
