why would you ever even have live ammo on a movie set ?next to prop guns loaded with blanks ,that is just asking for trouble. I would think not having live ammo anywhere around would be the smart thing

I thought the guns would be prop guns, incapable of firing real ammo. I was wrong.

I'm actually amazed that stupid stuff like this doesn't happen more often.

They've been pushing this story that people had been upset and even walked out over "safety issues"...... They want to claim this was an "accident". They'll get away with it, too, I'm sure.
You don't "accidentally" put live ammo in a movie gun. Someone put that ammo in the gun ON PURPOSE. Period.

The gun was a real working revolver.
Since there was no adult supervision, the chuckleheads were doing recreational target practice with the guns, when the actors didn't need them on set.
A loaded revolver was returned to the armorer's cart, never cleared, never checked, and handed to Baldwin with the "cold gun' being spoken as it was handed to him by the assistant director.
The whole set sounds like a a total amateur-hour goat.f.u.c.k.

There was a certain American Civil War movie filmed in S. Carolina a few years back where the armorer and prop people were packing for their own protection. Problems with the needed extras they were apparently taking in from every halfway house they could find. They were extremely hard up. They were doing things like shooting ramrods into the doors of the barracks they had rented to put them up in. And also throwing their production company owned musket over the security fence to a waiting acquaintance to take to the local pawn shop for booze & drug money.

I am not so sure. With how little some people and especially many "anti" gun people know about ammo, I could see this happening. Who knows what the real truth is???
