Alec Baldwin Fires Prop Gun that Kills Individual on Movie Set

Or he could be high as a kite.

Most likely was - and probably filmed before he took his 'vow of silence' .

...probably filmed before he took his 'vow of silence' .

With the amount of time between words, you can tell he was working on it...

Alac should take some lessons from Keanu

He should have taken them from TB but I'm sure his anti-attitude wouldn't have lasted very long.

TB probably wouldn't even let him set foot on his ranch...

I may have to listen to the podcast to actually hear this part - I can't imagine even Trump saying this:

Trump said on the podcast that if he had been handed a gun, he would first discharge it into the air to make sure it wasn't loaded.

I see he's a fan of the Biden method. Must be a rich upper east coast thing.

@Hueco , you took the words right out of my mouth.

He should take some lessons on how to be a decent human being.

‘Rust’ shooting: Dummy rounds in Alec Baldwin’s gun would’ve looked real but felt different, expert says

“Rust” producer and star Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza in an on-set accident last month that shocked the film industry and much of the country.

I am not sure why you would need realistic looking dummy rounds in a single action army revolver to practice drawing.

Yes! And this gets to the core of the issue imo. Not enough seriousness by armorer/prop master, crew, assistant director, producer (for creating such an environment), and actor. As said by others above if u look to her past comments about telling if there is a dummy round in there or not (and many other similar comments and actions) it seems like she is not taking it seriously at all (as were the others).

The only reason I can think of is if they were filming the practice and needed a tight shot of the cylinder.
I wouldn't want to be the person that was target shooting with the prop guns and then mixing in live ammo with the dummy rounds.
And maybe that person was the armorer ?

 

[RVTECH]

Might have been.

I still maintain the live round was most likely left in the gun after the target shooting and it was never checked after that and handed (loaded) to AB.

That seems like the most likely explanation based on the information that I've seen so far.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Now that I know that the realistic looking dummy rounds have a BB in the cartridge instead of gunpowder, the statement by assistant director David Halls that he would "shake" the revolver (hear the four BBs rattle) and declare the gun as cold makes more sense. Not proper procedure, but at least now we have some context. If the armorer did spin the cylinder, then the one live round with a real primer should have looked different than the four dummy rounds and raised a safety flag.

 

[Provincial]

There is no need for a dummy round to have a realistic-looking primer. A dense plastic of bright color would be appropriate, if any at all. A visual check of the base of the cartridges would show up a live round.

If you put BB's in a cartridge as an indicator, shaking it would be an audible warning. The problem is one live round and five dummy rounds would sound the same as six dummy rounds, probably even to an expert. Using that as a safety system is literally negligent.

If you just want to show the round in a magazine or a revolver cylinder yes, but not if the round is shown outside the gun or magazine. I don't know if the scene they were doing involved either of those. If I had to guess I'd think it unlikely. And in any case you could CGI that in anyway, right?

 

[Provincial]

Yes. Any cartridge in a firearm would have a dummy primer or no primer at all. All people in the chain of custody of the loaded firearm would have to be present when it was loaded, and the actor verifying each round as it is loaded.

We don't have enough cops for the cities.
The OT they would rack up on a shoot would be a plum duty assignment.
But of course, we could search on police-involved shootings ... leaving loaded guns behind ... etc.

"Defund the Police! (so us brain-dead antis can play with guns and not take any responsibility)."

F him.

 

[CRBMoA]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just treat every gun like a gun?

 

[Provincial]

The Liberal (Socialist) mind:

Defund the Police!

Have the Police watch over me if I handle a gun that is supposed to be empty!

Put brightly colored barrels on the movie set to prevent violence there!
