The rules for Spoilers state clearly that we avoid it only if "possible". If spoilers are truly unavoidable, then we have no choice. We DO have a choice in how we protect the plot for our viewers. Stating an actor uses a gun is not a spoiler, but if the ONLY screenshot is a spoiler, then have a generic spoiler warning is appropriate and we take as many steps as we can NOT be give out spoilers. After all, once we mention the actor name and gun (generically) we have fulfilled our primary purpose.
