So what is the background to your IMFDB user name?

I've also seen the term "master armorer" on at least one movie, though I think it's meant to distinguish the "lead" armorer from the "assistants".

EDIT: Did a quick IMDB search of those phrases. Simon Atherton is credited as "Master Armorer" on Black Hawk Down, and Mike Papac was "Master Armorer" on S.W.A.T. and XXX 2. It looks like Harry Lu was credited as "weapons master" on a bunch of movies.

I have seen this team used and used it myself in credits. The team is used for the key armorer on the show when there is more than one on the crew. I have been Key Armorer on at least two shows.
