The theater group my wife is associated with is putting on a production in a few weeks. They need a small revolver, preferably nickel plated looking, that can fire. The other option, which I do not endorse, is using blank ammunition in a real revolver that I own.
I've found a few sources where we can rent or buy blank firing revolvers. http://www.iar-arms.com/ http://members.tripod.com/~ForteStage/blankfir.htm If you happen to know of any other sources please feel free to post them.
What I need help with is how to train an actress who is described as "freaking out" about having to use a gun. I'll also need to instruct the prop manager of any special instructions to follow regarding the ammo, and revolver.
I was planning on first obtaining the blank firing gun, and testing it out at the range. Then familiarizing the actress with the gun, sanes ammo at first. Then taking her to the gun range to get familiar with firing the weapon.
Any suggestions would be helpful at this point.
If a local NRA instructor would like to help, I am certain you would get mention in the shows program.
Thanks...
Keith
