Guns have dominated American movies for decades, with millions of fake rounds of ammunition fired off by John Wayne, Sly Stallone, Keanu Reeves, Linda Hamilton and many other action stars.

The incident—which also seriously injured the film’s director Joel Souza—has led to renewed calls by many in the film industry to ban real guns on movie sets.
