Firearms & Action Support
Professional firearms advisory, cast preparation, and on-set support delivered with safety, clarity, and production awareness.
Dark Roc provides specialist firearms and action support for film and television productions. We work collaboratively with production teams to ensure all firearm-related activity is safe, authentic, and aligned with industry standards, from early planning through to filming.
Our approach is calm, practical, and production-aware — designed to support creative intent while reducing risk and on-set friction.
SERVICES
Firearms Technical Advisory
Dark Roc supports productions with firearms technical advisory services during pre-production and on set.
We advise on firearm mechanics, safe handling, continuity, and scene execution, ensuring that all on-screen firearm use is controlled, credible, and compliant with production safety requirements.
On set, we work closely with directors, performers, stunt teams, and crew to support smooth execution without disrupting workflow.
Cast & Performer Preparation
We provide tailored cast and performer preparation for productions requiring safe and believable firearm handling on screen.
Training focuses on:
-
Safe weapon handling and awareness
-
On-camera movement and posture
-
Scene-specific blocking and interaction
-
Confidence under observation
Preparation can be delivered during pre-production or alongside rehearsals, depending on production needs.

Where required, Dark Roc provides on-set support to assist with firearm-related scenes.
This includes:
-
Supervision of firearm handling
