The market for fake guns has created some incredibly impressive mock-ups.

Many in Hollywood are saying that this means there’s no need (and no excuse) for using real guns while on set.

Add “John Wick” director Chad Stahleski to the list of people who believe live guns don’t belong on movie sets.

He explained, “My feeling is that there’s no reason to have a live firearm on set. We can create cities and spaceships and Godzilla and all these things. We have the technology to do the same with firearms. But, for the last 100 years, Hollywood’s been using real firearms. And for prop houses, armorers or supply houses to switch over, it would make their entire stock of real firearms useless. It comes down to the fact that it would cost certain people a great deal of money to switch over. No one wants to say that, but that’s the real reason. You don’t need firearms. The alternative is just going to cost you more money.”

While Stahleski wasn’t on the “Rust” set when Alec Baldwin shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, he has seen on-set accidents in person and they have always been due to human error, according to the director. “It’s never mechanical.”
