There is no reason to have real bullets


They have blanks in them. These look like real bullets, but without the projectile. They still have the powder so as ti sound like real bullets. The Amorer, is the one responsible for this since the actors haven't been trained to know the difference.

Should they be trained to know the difference? That's a different question. In this scene, Baldwin was shooting a real gun, with a blank in it, directly at the camera (and anything behind the camera). The shot was supposed to show the first-hand view of what the person would see when getting shot.

The question is, why was there live ammo in the gun. That's the aarmorer's job and everyone is supposed to trust the expert. Did the Armorer screw up, or did someone intentionally load live rounds into the gun?

I think the typical thing to do in that situation is the folks behind the camera will be off to the side watching through a laptop. They had been firing live rounds through that same revolver earlier in the day. Target practice. Completely unrelated to the filming of the movie.

No matter which way you cut it, Baldwin is guilty of negligent homicide / manslaughter. He was the producer. He was responsible for overseeing the completely reckless safety practices on the set. The buck stops with him. And he pulled the damn trigger.

He's 100% guilty. It isn't even in question. Plus, he keeps lying about what happened.

This is most definitely what happened. Now how or why no one may ever know but there was no reason for live rounds to be there, yet they were and there was over a hundred rounds. This is no accident. Baldwin is 100% responsible because he pulled the trigger. Does armorer share responsibility? Absolutely but that doesn't remove Baldwin from the equation. Oh and those that keep saying the LA DA will protect him or not charge him need just stop and remove themselves from this discussion.
