#1 "The actors also removed or blackened the orange tips on their toy guns."

Probably would have been a better idea to do this during editing? Sort of gives you a glimpse into the mental HP of these "students". Maybe someone should interview their prof...?

#2 The students screwed UP. It's a crime to remove or blacken the tips on those weapons.

You should ALWAYS notify the local PD if you're doing anything even remotely like that, simply as a courtesy if nothing else.

Finally, they should have taken steps to make it obvious they were doing a shoot, not a robbery. I've done a fair amount of TV production (Local Access Cable) and won awards for it; You can't be stupid.
