| We deal mostly with "live" weapons that we convert to blank-fire but have a large inventory of "function props", "suicide guns" as well as "rubber guns". We can provide one weapon to hundreds depending on your needs. Our shop is fully equipped to manufacture from scratch most any type of weapon desired at the fastest turn-around time. The vast majority of our work is custom designed and executed specifically for each story-line. If we don't have it, we can make arraignments to acquire what you need from one of the hundreds of weapon dealers and collectors in our database. Nothing we make is available for resale and most of our weapons are destroyed or disassembled after they are used. You may not see our name listed in the credits, but if it worked or looked right, we probably made it. |  |

From Wikipedia.... The weapons master, sometimes credited as the armorer, weapons specialist, weapons handler, weapons wrangler, or weapons coordinator, is a film crew specialist that works with the property master, director, actors and script supervisor. The weapons master is specifically responsible for maintaining control of any weapon props (including but not limited to firearms, knives, swords, bows, and staff weapons). The weapons master is present whenever a scene with a weapon is to be shot. They present the actor with the weapon just prior to the scene, and they take control of the weapon when the scene is done. It is the primary function of the weapons master to ensure that the weapons under their control do not cause harm to the cast, crew or production property. Secondary functions include ensuring that the weapons can achieve the director's goals in terms of appearance and function, and that they meet the continuity requirements for the production. While some weapons masters work exclusively in film production, others are specialists outside of the media profession who are called in because of their familiarity, licensing and qualifications with the weapons in question. Some weapons masters (particularly in lower-budget productions) are also responsible for training the actors. Prior to the 1980s, weapons were frequently the responsibility of the property master or his assistant, but since then, it has becoming increasingly common in the industry for the property master to a hire a dedicated weapons master in order to reduce the burden on himself. However, it is still common for the property master to double as the weapons master on productions where NFA-regulated firearms (such as machine guns or sawed-off shotguns) are not being used as a cost-saving measure. | |
