Rule #1 of firearms safety is to not point a gun at anything you don't want to shoot.
How the fuck would that work in a movie, exactly?
Easy, by not using real guns
Lots and lots of cuts, lol. Green screen everything. In an action scene, every single actor must be in completely different room, or shoot their part at different times, then composite everything together. No movies will ever have the weapon pointed at the camera, ever. Such scenes are now banned.
Also, if any scene involves picking up a weapon, they must cut, the actor must check the weapon, then resume filming after. This must be done on every take.
What's the actor going to check? How heavy it is? They don't have a clue.
If by "check" you mean somebody who is an expert or is informed by experts makes a judgement about the weapon and announces it, that happened.
The armourer who provided the weapon did receive a manslaughter conviction. It was their responsibility, and they either screwed up or let themselves get bullied into screwing up by the asshat AD.
