And that is why "The Rock" is so well liked. He's Canadian, so he brings a different view to guns.
I find his films fun and that's just why they are made. To entertain.
I disagree with the all or nothing stance and know that firearms can be safely used, but that's because I've been around them all my life. I won't say I'm comfortable, just have the proper respect and know how to clear a firearm, have the safety enabled, have the guns and ammo locked up, when not used. Something that some actors and production teams can't seem to learn and cannot be bothered to learn in a 30 minute session.
Fighto!
Well done, Rock. There is absolutely no need for real guns to be used on set in this era.

Still, he’s apparently going out with a “bang!” ?? - In the preview for his new Red Notice, Dwayne Johnson is firing a lot of very real looking automatic weapons.

Gal Gadot as a bad girl !?! : Yes. Ryan Reynolds smarting off to Dwayne Johnson !?! : Yes.
Looking forward to this one.

Think: Deadpool vs. Black Adam vs. Wonder Woman in the Italian Job (2003)
This time, its not “about family”. (Sorry, no Fast & Furious cast members.)DrTOM1957
All of Hollywood needs to follow Dwayne Johnson example. There is zero need for real firearms on any movie or TV production set. If you can fake a phaser on Star Trek you can fake a gun firing on Fast & Furious

Well then, @DrTOM1957 they could also “fake” the fast cars but audiences have grown tired of too much CGI and do want a certain degree of realism. (Bear in mind, *Fast & Furious***** *is NOT realistic).
Insuring safety before a producer’s/director’s vision is the most important issue here. One major tragic example of ‘vision over safety’ of Vic Morrow & two Vietnamese children that were decapitated by a real helicopter’s blades in producer Steven Spielberg’s & director John Landis’ Twilight Zone (1983).
(Before anyone tries bring these tragedies up to rebut using real cars & practical effects, F&F’s actor Paul Walker did die in a very real car accident yet it was ‘off the set’ and unrelated to film production. Also, StarTrek*’s Anton Yelchin was crushed by a car yet it was ‘off the set’ and unrelated to film production.)

"Can you see what The Rock is using ?!" It's a rubber gun.

But Gal Gadot was in some of the Fast & Furious movies though
Kyo wa heiwa dayo ne
Gal Gadot looks absolutely stunning , Dwayne Johnson looks like a grinning pitbull and Ryan Reynolds looking sophisticated.
The Rock is Canadian ?
When did that happen ?
I thought he was from big island ?

Dwayne Johnson is American, although he spent a few years in NZealand, he did play football in Canada for a short time.
