Professional Armorer Services

MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION FIREARM AND WEAPONS TRAINING

Visual authenticity in firearm and weapons tactics is a critical part of capturing today’s savvy viewing audience. Our staff has an extensive background in private military and tactical law enforcement services, which gives us an edge in training actors, stuntmen, and extras in the safe, tactical use of any weapon on set. We also understand the mindset, personality, and behavior of characters playing various law enforcement and official military roles. We are not hardcore “gun nuts”. We are professional armorers, weapons masters, trainers, and instructors with years of experience in the field and in film. Safety on set is our primary mission. We are skilled, discreet, and professional, and we operate seamlessly within the unique environment of an active film set.
