Prop Gun
A prop gun is a gun or replica gun that is used primarily by movie and television productions or in theatre performances. As a prop, these guns can be divided into non-firing guns (replicas) and firing guns (firearms). Firearms are subject to restriction by law and safety regulations in use, due to their inherent danger, and illegal misuse by criminals. Replica guns Stage replicas can be made from metal, resin, plastic, or rubber. They cannot fire or hold any type of round and typically they produce no noise or smoke effects, these can be added during the post-production process. Some replica guns are equipped with an electronically triggered muzzle flash. Firearms as props Prop firearms are either real guns or specifically made to be blank firing only. Blank ammunition has a cartridge that when fired produces realistic effects such as noise, smoke, a muzzle flash and recoil; they contain gunpowder but do not have a bullet. To achieve a desired visual effect, the amount of gunpow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Replica
A replica is an exact (usually 1:1 in scale) copy or remake of an object, made out of the same raw materials, whether a molecule, a work of art, or a commercial product. The term is also used for copies that closely resemble the original, without claiming to be identical. Copies or reproductions of documents, books, manuscripts, maps or art prints are called ''facsimiles''. Replicas have been sometimes sold as originals, a type of fraud. Most replicas have more innocent purposes. Fragile originals need protection, while the public can examine a replica in a museum. Replicas are often manufactured and sold as souvenirs. Not all incorrectly attributed items are intentional forgeries. In the same way that a museum shop might sell a printmaking, print of a painting or a replica of a vase, copies of statues, paintings, and other precious cultural artifact, artifacts have been popular through the ages. However, replicas have often been used illegally for forgery and counterfeits, esp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cover Up (TV Series)
''Cover Up'' was a television series that aired for one season on CBS from September 22, 1984, to April 6, 1985. Created by Glen A. Larson, it starred Jennifer O'Neill, Jon-Erik Hexum, Antony Hamilton, and Richard Anderson. Plot Following the death of her husband, fashion photographer Dani Reynolds discovers that he was actually an undercover CIA agent. When she learns he was murdered, she recruits Mac Harper, a former Special Forces soldier, to help her find the killers. Dani accepts an offer from Henry Towler, her husband's boss, to take his place as an agent. She uses her photography work as a cover, accompanied by Mac as her model, and Henry dispatches the pair all over the world to assist American citizens in trouble or apprehend criminals. Once they reach a destination, they typically have to act on their own judgment and experience with little or no expectation of outside help. After the death of actor Jon-Erik Hexum, who played Mac, the episode "Writer's Block" in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Squib Load
A squib load, also known as a squib round, pop and no kick, or just a squib, is a firearm malfunction in which a fired projectile does not have enough force behind it to exit the barrel, and thus becomes stuck. This type of malfunction can be extremely dangerous, as failing to notice that the projectile has become stuck in the barrel may result in another round being fired directly into the obstructed barrel, resulting in a catastrophic failure of the weapon's structural integrity. Causes Squib rounds are possible in all firearms. They are most often caused by negligence in the powder loading process (insufficient or no powder load), or a failure of the primer to ignite the powder at all. In the case of no gunpowder in the cartridge, the primer, when struck, produces just enough force to push the bullet into the barrel but no further. Subsequent rounds will pile up in a very strong weapon or destroy a weaker one. While this occurs most often because of handloading by inexperienced ...

Captive Bolt Pistol
A captive bolt pistol (also known as a captive bolt gun, a cattle gun, a stunbolt gun, a bolt gun, a stun gun and a stunner) is a device used for the stunning of animals prior to slaughter. A captive bolt pistol is intended to deliver a single, powerful strike to the forehead of an animal in order to quickly induce unconsciousness. Depending on the variation and usage, the bolt may or may not penetrate the skull and cause direct damage to the brain. The bolt consists of a heavy rod or piston, typically made of a corrosion-resistant material such as stainless steel. The bolt is actuated by a trigger pull and is propelled forward by either compressed air, a spring mechanism, or by the discharge of a blank round. After moving a short distance, spring tension causes the bolt to recoil back into the barrel. The captive bolt pistol was invented in 1903 by Hugo Heiss, the former director of a slaughterhouse in Straubing, Germany. Variations Captive bolt pistols are of three typ ...

Dummy Round
A dummy round or drill round is a round that is completely inert, i.e., contains no primer, propellant, or explosive charge (filling). It is used to check weapon function, and for crew training. Dummy ammunition is distinct from "practice" ammunition, which may contain smaller than normal amounts of propellant and/or explosive. For example, the M69 practice hand grenade (fas.org) emits a loud pop and a puff of white smoke. A dummy is not to be confused with a , a cartridge for a |
Rust (2024 Film)
''Rust'' is a 2024 American Western film written and directed by Joel Souza. It stars Alec Baldwin (who also produced and co-wrote the story with Souza), Patrick Scott McDermott, Josh Hopkins, Frances Fisher, and Travis Fimmel. Years before its eventual release, the film became notorious for a fatal shooting accident. In 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed when a live round was discharged from a prop revolver fired between takes by Baldwin. Director Souza was wounded in the shoulder by the same bullet. An initial set of charges against Baldwin were dropped in 2023 and another set dismissed in 2024. Producers, including Baldwin, then decided to resume filming, with Souza since expressing regret in having begun production on the film at all, stating that "I wish I never wrote the damn movie". The completed project premiered at the Polish film festival Camerimage on November 20, 2024. ''Rust'' was released theatrically on May 2, 2025 to mixed reviews. P ...

Rust Shooting Incident
Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous ferric oxides, hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron. Given sufficient time, any iron mass, in the presence of water and oxygen, could eventually convert entirely to rust. Surface rust is commonly flaky and friable, and provides no passivation (chemistry), passivational protection to the underlying iron unlike other metals such as aluminum, copper, and tin which form stable oxide layers. ''Rusting'' is the common term for corrosion of elemental iron and ferroalloy, its alloys such as steel. Many other metals undergo similar corrosion, but the resulting oxides are not commonly called "rust". Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Halyna Hutchins
Halyna Anatoliivna Hutchins (; April 9, 1979 – October 21, 2021) was a Ukrainian cinematographer. She worked on more than 30 feature-length films, short films, and TV miniseries, including the films ''Archenemy'', '' Darlin''', and ''Blindfire''. On October 21, 2021, during production on the set of the film ''Rust'', she was shot and killed by actor and producer Alec Baldwin when he mistakenly fired a bullet from a firearm he was using as a movie prop, one he assumed was loaded with dummy rounds. The gun was under the care of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the set armorer who did not properly check the gun. The resulting criminal cases filed after Hutchins' death dealt primarily with assigning negligence to the people on set, and investigating how a real round ended up inside of the gun. Early life and education Hutchins was born to a Ukrainian family on April 9, 1979, in Gorodets, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Horodets, Ukraine). She grew up in the Russian city of Murmansk, on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shotgun Shell
A shotgun cartridge, shotshell, or shell is a type of rimmed, cylindrical (straight-walled) ammunition used specifically in shotguns. It is typically loaded with numerous small, spherical sub-projectiles called shot. Shotguns typically use a smoothbore barrel with a tapered constriction at the muzzle to regulate the extent of scattering. Some cartridges contain a single solid projectile known as a slug (sometimes fired through a rifled slug barrel). The casing usually consists of a paper or plastic tube with a metallic base containing the primer. The shot charge is typically contained by wadding inside the case. The caliber of the cartridge is known as its gauge. The projectiles are traditionally made of lead, but other metals like steel, tungsten and bismuth are also used due to restrictions on lead, or for performance reasons such as achieving higher shot velocities by reducing the mass of the shot charge. Other unusual projectiles such as saboted flechettes, ru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wadding
Wadding is a disc of material used in guns to seal gas behind a projectile (a bullet or ball), or to separate the propellant from loosely packed shots. Wadding can be crucial to a gun's efficiency, since any gas that leaks past a projectile as it is being fired is wasted. A harder or more carefully designed item which serves this purpose is often called a sabot. Wadding for muzzleloaders is typically a small piece of cloth, or paper wrapping from the cartridge. Shotguns In shotgun shells, the wadding is actually a semi-flexible cup-shaped sabot designed to hold numerous much smaller-diameter sub-projectiles (i.e. shots), and is launched out together as one payload-carrying projectile. This minimizes chaotic collisions of the shots with the bore wall and with each other, allowing the internal ballistics to be more consistent. After leaving the muzzle, the wadding loosens and opens up in flight, allowing the much denser shots to be inertially released and scattered. The ...

Stuntman
A stunt performer, often called a stuntman or stuntwoman and occasionally stuntperson or stunt-person, is a trained professional who performs daring acts, often as a career. Stunt performers usually appear in films or on television, as opposed to a daredevil, who performs for a live audience. When they take the place of another actor, they are known as stunt doubles. Overview A stunt performer is an actor skilled in both choreographing and safely presenting actions on-screen that appear to be dangerous, risky, or even deadly. Stunts frequently performed include car crashes, falls from great height, drags (for example, behind a horse), and the consequences of explosions. There is an inherent risk in the performance of all stunt work. There is maximum risk when the stunts are performed in front of a live audience. In filmed performances, visible safety mechanisms can be removed by editing. In live performances the audience can see more clearly if the performer is genuinely doing ...
