It's a movie set, play acting, there should be no live ammo on the set.
do we know there was "live ammo" on the set, assuming you are not referring to blanks?
If that info has been posted here, verifiable info, I must have missed it.
Without live ammo on the set, the incident could not have happened.
Are you considering blanks as "live ammo"?
if so, how do you shoot a western movie without them?
Now, if the inexperienced property person bought a box of rounds for the gun, thinking they were blanks and it turns out they weren't, then there's a problem.
If a blank round (wooden plug?) was fired, hit the gal, penetrated then hit the director dude, were they using "live ammo"?
If it's capable of passing through someone and injuring the person behind, it is a live round. It can kill.
Roger that,
so they shouldn't have blanks on the set of a Western movie, right?
A blank that can shoot through one person and injure the person behind, two with one shot, is just as deadly as a live round. Are all blanks capable of that?
I have no clue as I've never messed with blanks.
I'm with the rules of gun safety folks on this one. Balwin should have practiced muzzle control, whatever the fuggin thing was supposedly loaded with.
