The person in charge of overseeing the gun props, known as the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, could not be reached for comment. The 24-year-old is the daughter of veteran armorer Thell Reed and had recently completed her first film as the head armorer for the movie "The Old Way," with Clint Howard and Nicolas Cage.

So while you might have something of a point, in theory, "overseeing the gun props" was literally her entire job description. Therefore, any "oopsies" ultimately have to rest in her lap.
Also, I misspoke; she was 24, not 25, and that's even worse.
Also also, this was only her second movie in that role. So we know for a fact she was inexperienced, at least in the practical sense.
Also also ALSO, you can put dollars down that Mommy got her into the business, and helped get her work on jobs like this in SPITE of her lack of practical experience. I'm sure Mommy taught her a thing or two over the years, but there's no substitute for life experience.
Not the right person for the job. I'm sayin' it. If I'm the studio, and I'm looking for someone to take 100% of the heat for this fiasco, that's your scapegoat, right there.
