I saw some veteran armorer give an interview where he said that even on set (in professional productions), no one ever points a gun directly at anyone. Even in a point blank situation, creative shooting and camera angling, he said, eliminate the need to point a gun at a person or animal.
A prop gun is a gun used as a prop, much like a prop umbrella is an umbrella used as a prop. The major distinction is in its use and handling. With guns this can have a major legal difference. For instance, if you want a regular gun in Tokyo, it just is not going to happen. If you want a prop gun in Tokyo, it can be done with proper safety. Even though the prop gun happens to be a real gun, there are exceptions in the Japanese law that makes it possible.
