No, I'm not an armorer like the hollywood guys. I used to work in films in Florida, and I fell into training actors, and supplying guns to a handful of low budget films, as well as my own films over the years.
I was raised around police officers (nearly went that route with my life as well), and was always around guns, and I love film, so it all just worked out.
I don't live in Florida anymore. Now I build custom guns, and do design work for video games and I do a lot of writing.
Interesting you mention Shaft. I used to get some of my blank firers from Maxsell Armory in Coconut Grove. He used to tell everybody that he supplied all the guns to that film's armorer, and I think a few other well known flicks bought from him too. It was always fun to drive over there and see what kind of toys he had laying around.
