We had a prop gun like that in the last show I worked on. Our stage had seating on three sides, we had to have a fight choreographer stage the bit where the gun got pulled out at the end of Act II so that no audience member would be in the sight lines of the gun. I'm kind of nutty about prop gun safety.
