#1. You NEVER point a gun at anyone. On movie sets they usually have it pointing slightly away from the target. No common sense here at all. Casual use of a fire arm is irresponsible.
Why would there be LIVE rounds or real bullets on a movie set?
Was the person who loaded the gun the same person who handed the gun to Baldwin?
He pointed the gun at the crew!!!!! Who cares who handed the gun. Baldwin is a complete dirtbag it’s nothing new.
@imaimashii1 Apparently he pointed the gun toward the camera because that’s what the scene called for.
@imaimashii1 The crew was in the line of sight behind the camera. Alec was given a gun and was told to fire it. It was part of the scene. Think what you want of Alec but he literally just did what he was told.
Probably a revolver if it is old western. Anyone responsible for loading it knows what the difference is between a blank and real round. Anyone properly trained knows never to point even blank loaded guns at anyone. A responsible shooter would also check for themselves what their gun is loaded with. This stinks, so why? What is the reason of this “accident” that is not an accident?
Can you tell the difference between a squib load and a full load?
you shouldnt believe anything on the news at this point
Aber warum?!🤔🤔 Gestern schon alle Nachricht Sender gegeben.!! Und gezeigt dass!!😯😯🤔🤔

A prop gun can’t fire. A blank gun can…
Our we sure she didn’t die from COVID?
only in america would there be live rounds on a movie set
???
Ask Jesse Ventura, they used live rounds on the set of Predator.
BAM
go Brandon Lee..
remember the ‘Crow’
Blank firing guns don’t have a clear barrel.
Why was there live ammo on the set, and why was the prop gun capable of firing it?
Fans of The Crow do not need this reminder.
But that was 28 years (and 7 months, Lee died March 31st 1993) ago. That was a lifetime ago.
@Garsons2059 FAAAAKAAAAAA
The fact that you think you need live ammo is unbelievable.
The fact that they haven’t made movie guns that CAN NOT fire real ammunition. THAT is unbelievable.
This guy does not really sound like a firearms expert…
He did not even mention previous incidents (deaths eg. Brandon Lee, The Crow) from blank round firing.. Usually due to wadding material impacting someone.
:/
Hollowed-out cartridges are often used to film close-ups of a gun being loaded, The police investigation into Lee’s death concluded that a tip of one of the cartridge’s bullets broke off from the cartridge and lodged in the gun, then fired at Lee along with the blank. It wasn’t “The wadding”.
Why do the blank rounds need to be so powerful anyways ?
All that’s needed is a small pop, a bit of smoke as necessary, then add the sound effects in post production.
Because a regular blank round won’t cycle a semi-automatic gun.
@Critical Event Thanks for the information. I did not know that.
It’s just like Vic Morrow all over again.
It was 99% a revolver like in a western ya know, you can see the bullets. Bet someone was shooting targets with it prior.
Rumor has it he was using the gun for target practice with live rounds, and because he had a bender the night before he forgot to have the gun loaded with dummy rounds.
Alec taking this new roll real serious.
what is the minimum jailtime for alec assuming it was an accident
