Thanks. Whew! I was pretty tired when I wrote that and it's not well written. I will have to go back and rewrite some of that. Also that rant blurs the line between a true armorer, a weapons wrangler and an on set technical advisor, which many times are completely different jobs, but many times the lines are blurred. When the actors don't have a technical or military advisor, we do our best. But usually armorers are just there to provide, look after, load up , unload, secure, oversee safety of the weapons. But on many sets we have to wear a few more hats.
