Of course, being a professional actor and expert lying dimocommie, Alec would probably pass in f lying colors.
Sounds to me like some chucklehead was doing recreational shooting off to the side, with a prop gun, then placed it back on the armorer's cart. It was never cleared or checked. Not to mention there was no positive control of weapons or ammo on the set.
Layers of incompetence, dereliction, and bad decisions.
John Schneider explained the actual prop guns are unable to be fired with live ammo, but yiu may ne right about real guns they sometimes evidently use.
Be nice to know exactly how the script had him shooting at the camera.
I read that the guns were not from a hollywood prop outfit, but rather, were sourced locally, and are in fact legit firearms.
