Theatrical firearms are specially designed weapons used in film, television, and theater productions. These firearms can be either non-firing replicas or modified real guns that fire blank ammunition. Their primary purpose is to create realistic gunfire effects while ensuring the safety of actors and crew members. To enhance realism, theatrical firearms often include features like working actions and sound effects. Safety protocols are strictly followed when using these weapons, including the presence of trained armorers who oversee their operation. Proper handling and storage are crucial to prevent accidents during performances or filming.
