With all precautions of course, and only as the final option, but I seriously doubt it is "uncommon" given the amount of gun play in modern cinema.

So all the americans posting here, they aren't "arguing"? I know you guys like an echo chamber, but are you really looking for threads with no dissention of opinion? Sounds sort of boring to me, but good luck to you.
An FYI only... Under Australian law the only people who can handle any gun on a movie set must have a licence. Prop gun, rubber gun, real gun it doesn't matter. They must pass a safety and competency test before being allowed to handle or use a gun on set. I only know this because my son was an extra on a Russell Crowe movie a few years ago.
