In productions with weapons the Armorer, a.k.a. Weapon Master, usually has a significant role -- certainly on par with other credited parties (like personal assistants, caterers, wranglers, animal handlers, etc.). But I haven't ever found the armorer in the credits. Why is this?

2They should be. It's possible they're listed by a company rather than individual names or that they're listed under a different title than you're expecting.– CatijaApr 29, 2015 at 15:32

I'd buy the "company" aspect, or that they may be titled under "prop-master" or some such.– Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2Apr 29, 2015 at 15:40

I doubt the call them 'armorers'. Look under 'prop master'.– DA.Apr 29, 2015 at 16:37

An Armorer isn't listed in the credits because it's not a role/job title in the movie industry.
Weapons are props and, as such, are under the guidance of the prop master:
This job description varies somewhat from country to country. In the United States, food styling, weapons and animals are often directly or indirectly within the property master's domain.
