In the movie Saw 3, where the nurse was wearing the shotgun collar, she could have very easily defeated that trap..

Her task was to do half-amateur brain surgery on Jigsaw to attempt to remove his brain tumor. This means, amongst other things, she had access to plenty of towels and rags.

Well, the shotgun collar was apparently something of an open design, meaning she could have easily gotten behind Jigsaw where he couldn't see her, wrap towels and/or rags tightly between the firing pins and the shotgun shells, and just walked away.

Hey, buffer/block the firing pins, so what if the trap triggered, the shells wouldn't have went off...

You must know what the fuck a firing pin looks like. I do not, and I suppose this character didn’t either.

Indeed I do, I've actually repaired a couple guns before. Only a couple, but one of them was to remanufacture the firing pin hammer cylinder mechanism, the original had cracked in half.

It's not an entirely complicated mechanism, especially for a single shot firing pin for a shotgun shell. Hell, you could fire one yourself with a nail and a hammer, but for obvious reasons, I highly don't recommend that.. 💀

Yeah, that level of expertise, I’m sure Jigsaw will set some other kind of puzzle for you. For that character that must have been horrifying enough for her to not even think that she could disable the mechanism ever.

Jigsaw wouldn't have ever even known, as absolutely nobody knew my daddy had found that gun in a junkyard under the seat of a car when I was only a toddler. It sat in pieces in a bullet bucket, hidden away, until he showed me the parts bucket when I was 17 and in Metal Trades in high school, and told me he never could get it fixed.

So, me being me, at home, in private (well, along with daddy), I disassembled the last few remaining press fit pins to break down every last piece, which was where I found the cracked firing pin hammer cylinder.

So, without alarming the school or bringing any attention to it, I brought just that one single part, cracked in two, into metal trades, and remanufactured it on the lathe, milling machine, and filed off the sharp edges with a file. I never told anyone what it was for.

Then, I brought the new tiny simple cylindrical part back home, reassembled the gun, and sure enough it worked!

It only ever got used for a few test rounds, where my late father ended up half losing hearing in one ear for a couple of weeks, but it worked 👍

Anyways, TL;DR: Unless Jigsaw had a hidden camera in our house, he, just like the school, would have never had a clue that I knew Jack Shit about guns, as I'm not much into guns anyways. I just happen to be a mechanic and also know my way around a machine shop..

She probably didn’t know how a gun functioned at that level, considering her character history.

I've never seen the film so can't comment on her knowledge of guns. I will say that I'm from the UK and we don't have guns at all, but I do know how they work. And that they are very basic and simple. Hell, today's guns are just fancy flintlocks 🤣.

I'm, in principle, with OP on this. From looking at that device around her head it does look like it'd be easy to foil, it looks like there's quite a gap between the pin and shotgun casing. Stuffing a towel between them wouldn't take a long time to do.

However, with that said, I will also say that if I were subjected to that experience I would be terrified and so probably wouldn't be looking at ways to disarm it, but to follow the instructions and hope I got out alive.
