Has it been said that it was a live round? If the gun was loaded with blanks and something was was lodged in the barrel it wouldn’t have mattered if he checked if it was loaded or not. Really after the crow I thought they would have had this all figured out and stopped using live firing guns in movies.

No one has said whether it was a live round, a blank, or something else. But it clearly fired as Baldwin was drawing the gun so there was a primer and at least some object in the barrel.


Easiest assumption is that it was an actual live round rather than a blank because the blank would need something other than wadding to shoot out in order to kill someone at the likely distance he was firing from.
