I would have thought that you had production companies sign contracts with you that the actors will not unnecessarily abuse the weapons while the contract is active. James Cameron could afford the repair fees when he got Arnold Schwarzenegger to drop a minigun on a hard floor back in Terminator 2; I doubt many other production companies would like to be saddled with repair/replacement fees for guns of yours their actors broke. Have you tried giving a briefing session to actors unfamiliar with guns and teaching them the proper respect for these weapons, along with the usual safety briefing?
If the actual IMFDB page is correct, the dropped minigun was a cheap rubber prop. Which I believe, since Ahnold was in the military before becoming an actor and has some understanding of why you don't simply toss guns around willy-nilly, especially ones that are on loan and costs thousands upon thousands of dollars.
