- The British Action Academy runs several courses in high-octane stunt work. 'Gun Rush' is a popular course aimed at rising stunt performers who want to learn how to safely handle firearms for use in action sequences. We took the full-day course outside of Woking, west of London, to find out how firearms stunts are co-ordinated.
Founder Andreas Petrides has been working in the industry for over 28 years. He has worked on "Gladiator", four "James Bond" movies, "Band of Brothers" and "Star Wars" to name a few. As part of the course, Andreas runs through safety drills and shares his industry experience. Training is done with rifle, 8mm hand gun, Uzi and M4.
Movies use a range of weapons during filming. ‘Blanks’ are working weapons loaded with blank cartridges. These produce a big muzzle flash or a loud ‘bang.’ There are replica guns, or for less detailed dummy guns - ones made of rubber. Actors need to know how to adopt a convincing gun stance. Two of these examples are a Boxer stance and a Weaver stance.
The prop guns themselves go hand in hand with sound design. When a gun fires, you're hearing three acoustic elements. The muzzle blast sound, the impact point, and the 'crack' sound of the bullet traveling through the air. Without this layering, a movie just doesn't seem as realistic.

What behind-the-scenes element do you want to learn more about? Let us know in the comments below!
INSIDER no thanks I’m good.
How do they do it? ummm... they don't. They make them look Hollywood. You've never been on that side of the internet before, where you can actually see real gun fights play out. It never looks like a movie.
INSIDER what makes Keanu Reeves so Breathtaking lmao
What about a video on animal
You need to have professionals show you how to use A weapon. I can help.
What I actually wanted to know was how they make the effects of bullets hitting stuff around the actors in movies.
Sum use paintball gun
They use a bit of explosive or sparking material( magnesium , i think?) hooked up to wires that go to a board(sometimes computerized if they use many richocets or in a complex sequence) that they touch to make them blow up. They cover up the little squibs and the wires with material or they photo edit them out later.
for the Philipines we use fast flares like fireworks
Well they are told we’re to shoot so there’s a blood squib infront of the protection
@@obo7707 hey
_Meanwhile, in most movies, the guns have unlimited ammos compared to the real guns._
*Movie logics*
Except John wick
No blood.
Mags*
Yeah what about matrix?
Mr. Friendship JOHN WICK 👋🏽
Hi, I'l teach you how to hold the gun and stance. *proceeds to hold the gun in the most impractical way*
as soon as i saw this i instantly disliked the video and came to the comments to see if anyone else caught it. you're the real MVP.
Tea cupping, whipping, fishing, bowling, trigger discipline....
Cj Lundberg well they are British, of course they use teacup grip
Terry 20 you should put both of your hands in a certain way so they cover 360 degrees the grip, it’s difficult to explain but that’s not the way to grip a pistol
@@tzubenson7180 I mean... you're not wrong.
I almost fell off my chair. When He said in the old days, people used to actually get shot.
😂😂😂
😂😂💣
I heard they killed Bruce Lee's son. Is it true?
Yes like Brandon Lee was shot dead during acting.
@@theosantana7750 Yes
*LOL are they really teaching the infamous "teacup" grip???*
JoeDurobot they are in London lmao
JoeDurobot the one with the lepas pinkie?
Hahahaha i notice that
Juggy Boy no there not lol there in woking more south
As a kid I literally thought that they use death row inmates as actors and they get shot with a real gun in the movies
That's kinda too much for kid to imagine😄.... at what age please?
@@chinemeremomeh21 I don’t know but it was a really young age because I’ve been believing that for a very long time
Jesus that's dark
@@chinemeremomeh21 thats not a bad thing to think about.

Idk how but like when i was around 5 or something I used to believe that too
*how movies make gun fights look real*
They dont
iconic
@DIE HAPPY who is join wick ik who john wick is
DIE HAPPY there’s also more that goes into real guns, corridor digital did a good job on looking at them on how the sound mixing is always wrong, the recoil is always never there, and ammo counting
don't.*
@@mybodyisreggie2759 ayyy corridor
The “cup & saucer” grip combined with a Weaver stance was perfectly acceptable in 1979. Time has moved on. So should this “instructor”!
jokes on you chuck norris uses real guns during gunfights
Please stop
Chuck Norris and Ultra Shaggy?
And done in one take
Chuck with real gun? Gun lose
We learn something new, we see Hollywood movies all of there guns and rifle are just Blank guns means they are just fake toy gun lol.
*COPS* *NEVER* *HIT* *THEIR* *TARGET*

Aska Gamer no, nobody hits/kills the main characters, unless it’s to create tension.
Etherius Sention that’s almost true lol
4:36 That wasn't a mistake. Doc wasn't wearing a pullet proof vest in that timeline.
No that is not what they are saying. They are saying the vest he has on would have probably not stopped the calibre of the rifle he was shot with
Yes, he was. He had already received the note from Marty. When Marty goes away, he appears back from the past in this timeline moment and he sees the Doc standing up and showing him the note he left.
@@magalhaes753951 That was also the timeline where the mall was called "Twin Pines", meaning that Marty never went back. But once he returns to see Doc was wearing his vest, it turned into "Lone Pine mall"
But Marty hadn’t given it yet he was in another timeline
“How Hollywood makes gunfights look real”
They don’t.
Mr. Guitar CAGED the comment you copied is literally above lmao.
@@hi-cz8zd LMAO IKR still is a year later
Somebody needs to teach this guy how to actually hold a firearm.....
I was thinking the same....amateur
Right especially the rifle
Thumbs crossed and tea cup 🤦♂️
He's literally just started to learn using it
@@yusrilramadhan I’m talking about the instructor...
It’s cool watching how the stunt actors or characters react to the bullet wound at the perfect timing
Jesus how many times can you chicken-wing that rifle?
Q: how does Hollywood make gunfights seem realistic?
A: they dont
Yes, teach them the teacup grip. It's totally efficient hand reduces any recoil coming from the gun. Also, that isosceles stance is gut wrenching. Showing off those salomon combat boots make it more humiliating than it already is
Only problem is the bullet animations. Most hollywood movies show the projectile head, casing and primer being shot fully in-tact.
The teacup grip is terrible & uncomfortable
When people get shot, they get rigid and fall. The bullet goes right through them, so there's no punch effect. This is unrealistic.
Bullets used by police have a blooming effect (hollow points) that keeps the bullet in the body to maximize bleeding.
Thanks guy for that completely useless and off topic comment.
Steven Spielberg is the only director I can think of who accurately portrays what being shot looks like.
Thanks guy for that completely useless and off topic comment
yeah exactly, it's a bit different with hollow points but usually people just feel a weird subtle feeling of something passing in them. you aren't blown away like in the video.
I don't think these are the same guys who worked on John Wick, the gun play in all the Wick films is just phenomenal, like better than anything else in the industry
Not a word about safety…this must be where Alec Baldwin trained.
Taran tactical make this look like special needs gun charades
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! and that tea cup grip tho!
ASAPDGAF yeah
1:10 "In the old days, of course, people used to actually get shot"
Nobody:
Protagonist using guns in movies: sf_use_ignoreammo 1
0:24, he’s holding that gun so close to his face if he fires that slide will come back and bust his nose open. Hahah
That's just the camera angle, you're supposed to keep the weapon closer to your body as it prevent people grabbing it. Standard procedure.
Keanu Reeves did actual training with Tarran Tactical for the John Wick films, he's actually a bit of a stud with a firearm. There's a couple of videos of his shooting on RUclips, look it up

I like how its been 1 year and it's still on 69 likes
"How Hollywood Makes Gunfights Look Realistic" - they don't lol. John Wick and a few other films get it right, but the vast majority...
John Wick filming production did it right
That's the funny part. They don't make gunfights look realistic. Anyone who's seen footage of real combat or has fired a gun knows this. Most accurate one I've seen though has been saving Private Ryan
Getting shot is not like being punched. Watch some police shooting videos or real life shootings it can take 5 to 10 rounds before someone actually goes to the floor
og octavio depends on who’s behind the gun
Exactly.
Depends on the person, some people are just weak as shit.
DB choobie you think if you got shot you wouldn’t fall?
No, its less than 4. One bullet will gonna make you fall. Just imagine a hard stuff travelling to your body faster than speed of sound
I love how they say “Bang Bang” with the guns that don’t fire!
I used to play this with my cousins when I was small, and I should say that I was really good at it.
Now it's an academy thing, wow !
Let’s just put our back to the wall,chicken-wing our rifles, and teacup our pistols. Yep, realism at its finest.
Apparently, Alec Baldwin and company missed a few of these safety classes
Nah, they just decided to up the realism.
@@lookoutforchris True to that. 🤣
In real life when you get shot in the center of mass (chest, torso, back) your legs usually give out and you fall.
2:33 “bang bang”😂🤪👌
When getting shot you dont get blown back like a punch, you just sort of feel a burning and fall over
My favorite part is when movies don’t include the rear sight on AR rifles
People irl get shot: Fall to the ground immediately in agonizing pain and suffering
People in realistic Hollywood movies get shot: move their hands to the wound and fall in the most exaggerated way possible even when they get hit in the head
This guy is training them how to have a pretty shitty grip as well as weapon safety lol
it’s fake i-
It’s not real. It’s about preforming for the camera, not actually handling a firearm. Plus he says “here is the weaver stance” and does an isosceles stance. In the end it doesn’t matter. If they want actual firearm training they should speak to an actual firearm trainer, not someone who does it for film and TV.
So who's here after Alec Baldwin's incident?
Me and many others.
I’m here after Alec Baldwin case
him flailing the gun around when he goes to aim, made my day! Thank you blond man.
2:13 “Weapon master” showing them to cup the gun… Seems like no master if he’s still cupping pistols in 2021
When people are shot in the head they bend slightly forwards and go limp and fall to the ground. There's no "reaction" because the very center that creates that reaction is disabled. Liveleak footage and reality is a good reference.
I only watched a few bodycam police shooting videos, but I've never seen someone shake their whole body for five seconds after being shot, you either don't react much at all and take 20 shots to fall to the ground because people miss, turn away and fall down or you just fall down instantly
He’s not firearms instructor if he hold the gun like that. Weaver stance is outdated. And teacupping the gun is incorrect.
Weaver stance is standard military stance though. I shoot weaver all the time because when you’re wearing a SAPI plate, you want that facing the enemy.
@@loofacop the weaver stance would angle your plates away from the enemy, Isosceles stance would position the plates to face the enemy. No one has taught the weaver stance since the 80's
Weaver stance is fine.
JoshDaBeast exactly
I had always asked myself this question
*Keenu Reeves makes it so real because he is breath taking*
Gay
@@johnm3907 It's literally Keanu Reeves,what's not to compliment?He's ✨breathtaking✨

this is so INTERESTING, I wish you could make more of these
“In the olden days, people would actually be shot”
ahhh i see the good old tea cup method lol
how are you an instructor but hold a gun wrong
Should've featured scenes from The Punisher, & mentioned why it's important to wrap the gun with your other hand, you know, in case if someone tries to disarm you.

Also Hollywood: " I got 57 more rounds in this 4 round magazine "
Gus Johnson
This reminds me as a kid when me and my friends play gun fight using sticks or some toy guns
Same
Funny how this is recommended right after Alec Baldwin kills a lady on set with a live round
I searched
I'm greek. Andreas Petrides (Ανδρεας Πετριδης) is a greek name. It literally means "Andrew Peterson".
I am filming a movie over here in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada and will show this video to my actors. Thank you British Action Academy
The correct order for the sounds, assuming a supersonic round, is 1) impact 2) sonic crack 3) muzzle sound. Before any of that comes the muzzle flash. Movies always get it wrong.
The sonic boom comes from the bullet flying past you, which should be the same time as the impact.
Muzzle flash, impact/bullet crack, and then you hear the actual gunshot.
Realistic? Not the right term
Actors: I reload when I feel like doing so...
Me: *BOI U SHOT DOWN THE ENTIRE HOUSE HOW CAN U NOT RELOAD*
5 Minutes Later... **reloads gun**
m8 wot I get the feeling you’d like John Wick then :)
2:12 putting subtitles on that dude? That's just evil
This is me teaching my friends how i want my gun roleplay to be
"In the old days, of course, people used to actually get shot."
This is just stated so matter of factly... Because of course, everyone knows that this is just what happened back then. You wanna make a movie? Someone's gotta die
That can't be true, I took a triple take when I heard that
Yeah wtf was that all about? What old movies did that?
Apparently back in the early days of Hollywood (think 1910s - 1930s) there had been recorded instances of deaths due to stunts and special effects gone wrong. Back then they had no CGI so they obviously had to rely on real explosives and gunpowder. These were however even for those times unusual and tragic accidents. But they did happen from time to time...
But no, even a hundred years ago shooting someone with your revolver was considered murder.
Theres guys in combat that have taken hits and didnt even know it...
In movies guns run out of bullets in worst timing or when the gunfight is done
1:43 I’ve never held a gun in my life, but I’m 99% sure that’s NOT how you hold one…
It depends on the movie honestly though, most Hollywood movies you can tell that it’s not real!
I liked schindler's list where they had dummys for when someone gets shot. It looked realistic as it would seem the person getting shot drops like a bag of potatoes like in real life instead of a punch.
honestly gunfights in hollywood now looks very fake and too dramatic to a point where it is cheesy and stupid.
true
Plotwist they actually are real they just gave alot of body doubles for the actors
What
Nobody did it better than Chuck Conners, The Rifleman! He was an artist with that Winchester.
Broderick Crawford did swell with a.38 pistol in Highway Patrol.
This actually looks really fun
1:51 super tea cup hold! If I was him, I would want my money back!😂🤡
So I’m assuming Alec Baldwin didn’t take any of these classes?
No, he was given a gun that was supposed to be loaded with blanks, but the prop master allowed for an actual bullet to be loaded. Alec saw no risk because it was supposed to be a blank, so it was a freak accident that he had no control over
@@munksterrr7845 While it was the prop master fault, Alec should’ve taken basic gun safety classes too. He should’ve double checked or press check/mag check the weapon to see if there were actual live rounds inside or blanks. Besides, why was he even pointing it at a cinematographer? She wasn’t supposed to aimed at in the movie neither in any other movie. Knowing were to point guns is also a basic rule of gun safety
@@nikoandroman watch Penguinz0s video. It explains a lot about this situation. Also have you never seen a movie where a gun gets pointed at the camera? You don’t know the situation where it happened, so why are you assuming Alec was the only negligent one?
"How Keanu Reeves makes gunfights look realistic" is a better title..
This guy obviously doesn’t know to to hold a gun with a proper grip and doesn’t know anything about safety because theres people behind him pointing the guns in his direction when they are being taught the stances
here after the Alec Baldwin incident 💔
*In Soviet Russia, Gun fire you*

0:11 when your the only one who forgot there was no school
At 0:34 if I was the guy behind the box I would have just killed myself lolllll
1:20
Semi-Automatic guns in movies are actually very much not normal guns, they need to be modified to still work with blank rounds.
That's not true, many Hollywood films use straight up normal weapons with blank rounds. You don't have to mod a weapon to use blanks. On smaller productions or for CQB they'll use side or top gas ejecting weapons with blanks which IS a modified firearm that allows the gas to come out of the side or top instead of the barrel because blank still cause epic damage
Regarding props on set, I've always wondered why firearms used in films are real when everything else is more or less a nonfunctional fabrication.
Is it possible for the best prop makers in the industry to design and build prop firearms that look, feel, and only APPEAR to operate like actual firearms, (i.e. muzzle flash, recoil, proper weight, load/unload clips and PROP cartridges, etc.), only they fundamentally operate in such a completely different manor that projectile discharge isn't even a functional possibility, even if the props malfunction?
Has this already been done for a film and I just missed it? If so, why has this new tech in prop firearm design and operation NOT become the film industry standard?
Not really, the only way to properly simulate muzzle flash, casings, reciprocating slides, etc, without a real firearm is excessive CGI that needs to be done incredibly well. The far better option is using blanks, generally with crimped ammo, with real firearms. No projectile, but has proper (sometimes overdone, depending on the types of blanks used) muzzle flash, recoil, as you are still using a real firearm without actual ammunition. It is without a doubt the best way to have firearms in movies and obviously the most realistic. The only fatalities that have happened from using real firearms is caused by failure to properly check that the firearm being used as a prop is in proper working condition, with proper ammunition and no barrel blockages, and extreme neglect of basic firearm safety, both of which need to occur in order to cause injuries.
Alec is not reliable. He said he will never go back to acting. Probably, he said to her trust me it won't hurt.
Where do you get the rubber guns?
Who's here after Alec Baldwin killed someone using a prop gun?
It wasn’t really his fault tho
@@munksterrr7845 he broke every safety rules, his staff broke every safety rule, his armorer is a self-admitted inexperienced diversity hire, no live ammo should even be present on set, the armorer if they were competent should have closed the whole set and sent everyone home, the guns were being used for target practice with live ammo a day before the shooting, there were numerous and gross safety violations leading up to this shooting, there were already two negligent discharges on the set with live ammo prior to this shooting, and the environment was so dangerous and out of control that the Union crew walked off the set in protest hours before the shooting. The AD should never even have touched the gun, the armorer is incompetent, the armorer and Alec should have checked and dry fired the gun off set first, per industry rules, and as soon as the cameras stoped he should have handed the gun back to the armorer. He should never gave pointed the gun at anyone, never have had his finger in the trigger, and never have pulled that trigger unless he was intending to kill or destroy whatever the gun was pointed at.
There are so many failures it is tedious to point out.
And guess who is also executive producer and is in control of how the movie is run and is liable for any negligence? You guessed it, Alec.
This is negligent man slaughter at a bare minimum. And this guy wants to ban guns while basing his career off portraying gun violence while at the same time knowing zero about guns and how to handle them safely.

That chicken wing grip while holding a rifle... lol
If I see John wick in thumbnail I make sure I watch the video without thinking about it.
I like to see fighting scenes with ✏️!!!!
LOL.. Hollywood gunfights look anything but realistic :D
Some movies get it sorta right though...
One thing these people need to learn is that you don't get knocked back at all by a handgun round it just Flys through you doing damage. And yeah you could argue that the fragmentation could mess with the nerves but they still don't make you flail your arms around like you just got hit with a cartoon hammer
In real life The impact of a bullet does trigger the body's reflexes and causes the body to jerk , it all depends on the size of an individual a smaller build person's body could jerk suddenly before they drop to the ground but a person with a lot of muscle will jerk but their body's natural fight or flight instincts would prevent them from falling to the ground.
Now I know why bond is always holding his pistols in a teacup and saucer fasion.
