I would think that with knowledge being what it is today that nobody would ever allow a gun (prop or not) to be aimed toward people.
If you tubers can figure out ways around it, I’m sure Hollywood can to.
Exactly! There is no reason to point it directly at a person. Any competent director/camera crew can take the angles that make it "look" legit, but maintain safety.

I wouldn't even point a gun I KNEW was empty at anyone or pull the trigger. Know two young people who were killed by empty guns in the last yr.

No, but I can easily see how with a single action revolver where you have to spin the entire cylinder past the oading gate to look how one could miss that one live primer. And I can see fake live primers being used too. I remember in movies like Saving Private Ryan I always noticed that the rounds in the machine gun belts didn’t have primers. I'm not for calling people idiots on the internet, but you are one

Sounds more and more like Alec was playing grabazz with guns, and most likely, alcohol. what a fu$king idiot.

Now hold it ! A police officer trying to restrain a black guy, who dies. Floyd, and Baldwin who intentionally points a gun at people and pulls the trigger . What’s wrong here?

I'm not for calling people idiots on the internet, but you are one Take your 69 posts and shove them up your ass, idiot. Out of about 14 million movies made with guns over the last hundred years, Alec Baldwin shoots someone and you dumb [bleep] think you’re smarter than everyone who has done it.

Makes me wonder how he got a hold of the gun if the film crew had left. IE the armorer. I wonder if he got it directly from the armorer with a live round or he grabbed it himself. It will be interesting if that little nuance is revealed.

Every single bit of gun handling in the movies is “unsafe” that’s why they have prop people and stringent rules.

There obviously are a lot of questions that need answered, and who was responsible for what...but 2 people getting shot during a practice run, drops the possibility of the gun being pointed at the camera for a shot(and the 2 key employees being shot in the process).

No it doesn’t. The camera work is “practice” too. In fact, it’s more than likely that the only reason they did it was to see how it would work with the camera before doing the actual take.

That's not what happened, they weren't filming.
