Quentin Tarantino asserted the necessity of real guns on set, emphasizing the excitement of authentic shooting and pointing out that shooting mishaps are statistically rare in the industry.
Tarantino criticized the suggestion of using fake guns, likening it to adding digital elements inappropriately, asserting, "I guess I can add digital erections to porno movies, but who wants to fucking watch that?" He believes the thrill of using actual weapons cannot be replaced.
While acknowledging the serious nature of on-set tragedies, Tarantino lamented the restrictions that result from such incidents, saying they "undermine an entire industry," yet he values the creative risk.
In stark contrast, Rust director Joel Souza advocated for the complete banning of real guns, calling for all film productions to exclusively use fake alternatives, stating, "That no guns should ever be allowed. Nothing real that can fire anything."
