Lots and lots of cuts, lol. Green screen everything. In an action scene, every single actor must be in completely different room, or shoot their part at different times, then composite everything together. No movies will ever have the weapon pointed at the camera, ever. Such scenes are now banned.

Also, if any scene involves picking up a weapon, they must cut, the actor must check the weapon, then resume filming after. This must be done on every take.

What's the actor going to check? How heavy it is? They don't have a clue.

If by "check" you mean somebody who is an expert or is informed by experts makes a judgement about the weapon and announces it, that happened.

Court submissions say assistant director David Halls did not know the gun contained live ammunition, and indicated it was unloaded by shouting "cold gun!"

The armourer who provided the weapon did receive a manslaughter conviction. It was their responsibility, and they either screwed up or let themselves get bullied into screwing up by the asshat AD.

It is revealed assistant director David Halls had been sacked from a previous production, war drama Freedom's Path, over gun safety violations in 2019.

He was sentenced already for negligence.
