Charges against Alec Baldwin could be refiled as forensic report shows trigger on gun used in ‘Rust’ shooting had to be pulled

I'm not sure this is significant, but several of the loaded rounds in the pictures have silver primers in them and mismatched and tarnished cases. That would suggest rather strongly that they are reloads.

From my father's experience, most usually movie set "armorers" (Dad's credits are for "Gun Wrangler") actually DO load the blank cartridges themselves. Dad did so because he was told from the outset that's what was done.

Dad's experience was limited to Westerns, and as Gun Wrangler certainly didn't supply all blank ammo for a big picture.

Real ammo when you intend to participate in "plinkin' and drinkin" sessions with the same guns in the evenings (as a schmoozing up and coming armorer)?

Why not?

Coked out armorer had live rounds everywhere. In several actors bandoliers, in the gun, in the box of dummy rounds. Handed off bag of coke before cops interviewed her.

‘Rust’ armorer posed with live rounds in box of blanks on set, jurors hear as trial opens

A New Mexico jury was shown damning evidence at the start of the trial against “Rust” movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — including a photo of her pictured with a live round on set.

Hiring a drugged out, inexperienced, failed porn actor of low intelligence for a job requiring professionalism and attention to detail. How could it possibly go wrong?

This evidence was apparently introduced by the prosecution. I hope this signifies a shift in strategy to hang Baldwin based on his oversight responsibility on the set and not his direct actions. Or is this a separate case for the armorer (who I thought took a plea deal and is not going to trial?)

I believe they are being tried separately.

Sometimes you learn more on this forum than you ever wanted to know. And yet somehow I have to ask (because I am not smart enough not to); is "coattails" some kind of play on words I do not get or it's own kink category?

Everything is a kink, and there is a kink for everything. I feel like we've covered this before...

The armorer is the Daughter of a movie armorer legend. She's there because of WHO she is. (Yes, she was of course, raised around A LOT of guns).

"riding on someone's coattails" is a colloquial expression meaning benefiting from someone else's efforts. You don't have to walk anywhere, just hop on the tail of their coat.

It's not nasty (or I am not aware of it being so) in this case.

There are some lessons I do not want to learn. Just like I do not want to learn that rule 34 is actually true if you look hard enough, I simply choose to believe it is a joke that has exceptions.

The same applies to "It's all good", but differently.

I'd like to know how a round can be identified by primer color. Is there some kind of "rule" that blanks only have gold primers?

Because if not, any comments based on the color of the primer can only be assumptions.

If you read my post again, you may notice that I didn't state it as fact. Here's a fact though: All of the primers I've ever seen for sale for reloading have been silver. I don't remember ever seeing factory ammo with silver primers.

Also the prosecution has all the evidence whereas we do not. They know which are live and which are blanks. I don't think they are just going to make up shiz that the silver ones are live and the brass ones are blanks. So we aren't really assuming anything. We haven't seen any of the evidence except what they showed where they identified the live rounds as having the silver primers.

Did she hand make the blanks? I think that's what her dad did. If that's the case, they'd probably be silver.

No clue but I think the article said the live rounds were in the box of blanks. So the matching brass primeed blanks are all part of the box of blanks shown in the pic. Where that box came from though I don't know. The defense has seen the evidence also so if they thought the prosecution was making up bubblegum about those rounds being live the defense would be calling that out.

I didn't mean to imply that you said it. That's what the article said.
I happen to have a note pad right beside my computer with the last ladder testing I did. It was easy to tell standard primers vs Magnum primers due to the color.
Winchester Large Rifle = gold
CCI Magnum = silver

The ammo in my carry gun is Federal 357 with silver primers.

S&B primers , among others, are brass colored. CCI's are silver but ever since the great primer shortage of late weve been importing primers from all over the damned world and a lot are brass colored.

I have not seen the images but another factor to consider is if the primers have a sealant on them. Lots of factory rounds have visible sealant, whereas very few hand loads do. I would be curious if this is another tip-off they used.
