Back in 1980, I was visiting Natchez, Ms while "Beulah Land" was being filmed for a TV miniseries, starring Michael Sarrazin.
I noticed the guns being used for a War of Union Imperialism movie were Trap Door Springfields. I asked the prop master/armorer why they couldn't use percussion rifle muskets. He looked at me as though I knew nothing of life and promptly enlightened me that they couldn't, because actors were the dumbest people in the world.
If one ever suffers from insomnia, he should go watch a movie production or observe grass growing.
BTW, a screamer of a Meme shows Alec Baldwin showing the prosecutor in the Rittenhouse case, how to place his finger on the trigger while pointing an M4 at the jury.
