armorer
Makes protective gear
An armorer is someone who makes, repairs, or maintains armor and weapons.
In medieval contexts, armorers crafted protective gear for knights and soldiers.
Today the term applies mainly to specialists who maintain firearms and other weapons for military units, police departments, or film productions.
The armorer checked each rifle before the training exercise.
In theater and film, the armorer ensures weapons are safe and properly handled on set.
