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.

Unless, as in the case of Brandon Lee, it was a squib. Which is a very rare and unusual occurrence.

Per the article I read the man that was wounded was standing behind the cinematographer. That tells me it was a live round and not a blank.
