I feel like better, more clear terminology for stuff would be useful. I mean I get that the armors know it but maybe more clear language for everyone who isn’t them might help make sure there are fewer errors.[/quote]

It is clear with even a small amount of knowledge. Many people have been pontificating in this incident without even bothering to learn anything about how guns are handled on a film set. I have also seen people who know gun terminology but are unfamiliar with film sets making wrong assumptions because they don’t understand how guns are handled in set.

It isn’t up to an industry to change their terminology so that you can more easily weigh in on something with which you are unfamiliar. It is up to the individual (and especially journalists covering incidents like this) to do their homework and refrain from spreading falsehoods until they can speak from knowledge.[/quote]
