Movie sets are different from normal use-cases for guns and thus operate under different safety rules

Correct. However, you will still be judged by the standards of the original ruleset, and not by how well you followed your own.

Baldwin did the firearm equivalent of cruising through a red light at 80 miles an hour without asking if anyone had actually closed the intersection. His excuse that it was a movie set does not exempt him from liability.
