Except that the industry term "Cold gun" refers to no rounds of any kind in the gun, including blanks. Which makes sense since they would almost never have live rounds on a set. So if he heard a rattle, he'd have said "Hot gun".I heard the first story was the assistant director took the pistol off an unattended cart, shook it (presumably heard the BB rattle of the five dummy rounds), said "cold gun" and handed it to AB. And since it was reported that the live round had the same Star Line Star brass as the dummy rounds, then AB would have no reason to suspect that there was any live ammo even if he inspected each cylinder.
Yeah, I know, would you trust that they were dummies if you had to hold the pistol to your head and pull the trigger?

"First of all, I've never heard the term 'cold gun,'" he said of the doomed safe word that Baldwin believed meant the Colt .45 he fired would not have live bullets.
"I've never heard that term. Literally, they're just talking about stuff I've never heard of. It's just infuriating," he said.
Waaaay behind!From here on out, I stand behind AB.
This is absolutely the best video I've seen so far on this subject.Best video to date on the workings of the gun:
Really like Kevin's videos... always very informative.This is absolutely the best video I've seen so far on this subject.

I just wish I could still get USCCA carry insurance...
Thanks, Jackboot Jay and Sideshow Bob... you phuq'n moronic asshats...
I want to say early this year but I could be way off.When was this? This is sounding like great news for us CC peoples!
That would make sense. Other providers of CC insurance in WA were all tossed out back in late 2019 (October, IIRC).I want to say early this year but I could be way off.
AB lawyers must believe that all Americans are tuned to movies of badazz wester gunfighters fanning the hammer of their trust six-gun. Therefore the jury will believe that's how the gun works. But the prosecution's weapons expert is going to tear it up in court.Again... these are all things we already know and are easily demonstrated and repeatable. That's what makes @awshoot 's post so spot-on. Why would they think this coached "strategy" wouldn't be torn to shreds in the investigation and trial? Are lawyers THAT freaking stupid?
Yeah, I think so too. Easy mistake. Too bad he won't admit it!!!I had a S.A. revolver as a teen, I recall that if i held the trigger , I could fan the hammer and shoot all six rounds, Did A.B. have his finger already on the trigger, when he pulled the hammer back?. kinda assuming he did.
Devil's advocate here, if AB did check the cylinder and found what looked like to be six "Dummy rounds" should he have insisted that they all be ejected?
But if it was not unusual to have "Dummy rounds" in the revolver prior to a shot and if AB had no reason to suspect that there were any live rounds on the set, would it still be unreasonable to continue practicing with the "Dummy rounds" in place?
Gun guys know that you violate the Four Rules at your own peril. And others peril. Complacency kills or injures.I heard the first story was the assistant director took the pistol off an unattended cart, shook it (presumably heard the BB rattle of the five dummy rounds), said "cold gun" and handed it to AB. And since it was reported that the live round had the same Star Line Star brass as the dummy rounds, then AB would have no reason to suspect that there was any live ammo even if he inspected each cylinder.
I just creatively produced something in the master bathroom...He 'creatively produced' something, alright!
