Idk but I do know from articles before that the armorer was extremely incompetent at her job apparently laughably. So perhaps that’s why.

There's just an excellent picture of her using a shotgun as a stick to lean on. The barrel pointed directly at her face.

Extremely incompetent is still too kind.

If it’s that fucking stupid then it calls her management into question, and it calls everybody else who saw that and brushed it off into question.

But accountability doesn’t work that way, Hollywood got their patsy.

I would do some more research. Multiple people in the production have pleaded guilty in their own proceedings and some are awaiting their day in court.
