They were insisting upon having one person do two very important jobs, the armorer role, taking care of the guns and ammunition, and then they wanted that person to also be an assistant prop person.

The person who's hired as both the armorer and the prop assistant is a young woman who's just starting out in her career, named Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has spent her life watching her father handle and oversee the use of firearms in any number of movies.
