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.

Yeah, this is a problem in the specific case of Se7en because what the creators tried to conceal was the identity of the actor playing John Doe. Since he uses a gun in the movie, we can't identify the actor without spoiling that. Though that said, a quick glance at Amazon shows that most of the entries name him in the product description anyway, so they don't seem that big on hiding his identity anymore.
