I was going to order some of those guns that shoot compressed gas, that gives visual cues and recoil, so the actors don't have to simulate the recoil themselves, less convincingly.
Since a lot of this stuff has to be ordered I figured I better do it now, since my goal is to make a feature in the next two or three years, and don't want to rely on several things to come in on time. However I am not sure which script I will do but hopefully a thriller. Here's my question though.
Let's say I order some semi-automatic style police rifles (for a script I wrote which I may do). But then in the future I found a script that called for police in close quarters combat. The cops would typically be using shotguns and submachine guns in those situations. But what if I did not have the shotguns, and used my money on other things... If the cops brought rifles to a shotgun fight for example, or something like this, would audiences care or pick up on those things?
