Johann Ofner posted videos showing a selection of guns on the Bliss n Eso music video set just hours before the actor was shot dead in an underground Brisbane bar.
Hours earlier, the Gold Coast man had been shot in the chest filming what he described as an "Asian gangster" scene for Aussie hip hop group Bliss n Eso's latest music video.
The crew was filming in Brisbane's Brooklyn Standard basement bar and paramedics couldn't revive the AMPM (Art of Motion Pursuit of Movement) fitness leader, prompting a wave of grief from dozens of friends and family members.

"I love you so so much forever and ever."
He was due to take part in Channel Nine's upcoming Australian Ninja Warrior series, which would pit him against other powerful individuals over an intense obstacle course.
Friends were excited to see him compete but were instead grieving their lost mate, described over and over again as an inspiration and a great friend.
"The world has lost one of its brightest lights today, you were an inspiration to us all," Amber Parucha wrote.
"The fire you've ignited and your passion for life will live on forever."
Others mourned for his two girls, Ms Garnett and his daughter, while still more recounted individual times he'd influenced them in small or huge ways.
"RIP yogi bear," Cory Lyons wrote.
"You were taken way too young and with so much more to live for in life.
"To many people you were a inspiration although a friend to all aswell (sic)."
Fellow stuntman Lockie Robbie, the brother of Hollywood star Margot, posted his own tribute, describing Mr Ofner as a true legend.
"Life is like a garden it is always the most beautiful flowers that are picked first," he said.
"It is with a gut wrenching and heavy hearted sorrow that I say today I've lost a mate, today our community has lost a brother, today a family has lost a leader but most of all today this world has lost one of its few best souls."
Brooklyn Standard general manager Justin De Beer said both the bar and the restaurant next door, Chingon, would remain closed until further notice.
"We're all pretty disappointed now, just pretty upset and quite shook up about what happened yesterday," he said, adding that he and his manager were inside at the time of the shooting.
"Our thoughts are with the family."
