The armorer of New York City

When movie and TV people need a mean ol’ nasty gun, they go to a little shop in SoHo.

“Speaking of current laws, I ask if the SAFE Act has had any impact on their business. Ryder rolls his eyes. ‘I hate it when people ask me about the SAFE Act. Most people haven’t even read it; they just hear things on the internet and assume the worst. But they ask me all the time. We’re licensed as a manufacturer, so most of the rules don’t apply – they only apply to the end user. We can still get things just fine.’ I ask him about standard capacity magazines, since the SAFE Act limits magazine capacity to seven rounds and that might be an issue in an action sequence. He chuckles. ‘I can tell you’re from Texas, you said “standard capacity.” Anyway, we use blanks in our guns and blanks are technically pyrotechnics and not ammunition. The law says we can only load seven live rounds, it doesn’t say anything about pyro.’”
