[SML] Use of weapons in production

[Jerry Durand]

No live ammo anywhere.

If possible, guns should be specially plugged so they can't use live ammo.

Plastic fake guns are best.

Guns are never out of sight of wrangler.  Locked up when not in use.

Never actually aim at someone, always aim to the side (and not and the
director standing in the wings).

Full loads are LOUD.  Need to size the load to the space.
