Then it must be true.
Those likely aren't very high powered at all -- I could be wrong, but those look like AR-15 platforms (as opposed to AR-10). The AR-15 really isn't capable of being configured for high-powered cartridges. It was designed around the physical size and pressures of the 5.56 NATO cartridge and there's only so much you can do within those constraints. And at least she has her finger (the one that we can see) out of the trigger guard. That's a huge improvement over most of these kinds of images, not to mention all of the TV shows and movies that get this cardinal rule of shooting wrong (as well as both of the others).

For some reason, not sure what it was, I found myself watching "Jurassic World" last night on Netflix and Chris Pine is constantly walking around with his lever-action Marlin (in 45-70 Gov't, a truly high-powered cartridge) with his finger fully inserted into the trigger guard and clearly resting on the trigger itself (very likely with the trigger squeezed, since that is a pretty natural way for the human hand to grab things, which is a big part of the reason for the cardinal rule against having your finger in the trigger guard until you are on-target and ready to shoot).

Though, I must admit, that most recent TV shows (less so movies) seem to be paying much better attention to these details than used to be the norm. Maybe they are finally listening, at least a bit, to the consultants that they historically ignored but hired just so that they could say that had them in their publicity announcements.
