Does completing the course guarantee work as an armorer?
No. The course is designed to build knowledge and skills; employment decisions are made by productions and may depend on experience, licensing, union status, and local law.
Is live ammunition used?
Live ammunition is never part of any on-set scenario taught in this course, consistent with the principle that live ammunition does not belong on a working set.
