The Rookie switching to airsoft

In response to the accident on the set of Rust, ABC's cop show, The Rookie, will start using airsoft guns as props on their show and add muzzle flashes digitally. 

I assumed there was some good reason why they didn't do this years ago, and maybe there was, but they're changing.

It seems insane to keep on with the blanks when they're that big a hazard. Even if you do everything safely, it's a lot of work.

In the '50's, the studio where they filmed The Untouchables was robbed. Burglars made off with several (real, fully functional) submachine guns.
