Those old style six shooters don’t have a swing out cylinder. On a Smith & Wesson revolver you push a button and the whole cylinder swings out of the frame. You can see instantly how many rounds are loaded. On a Colt single six the cylinder is pinned into the frame. It doesn’t swing free. You have to open a loading door on the back of the frame, put the hammer on halfcock and rotate the cylinder and look at each chamber individually. It’s more easy to miss a loaded chamber.
Why was there live ammo in a prop gun? Good question. They were filming on a ranch. I bet they were shooting live rounds for fun. Then they didn’t clear the gun. I’m sure Baldwin thought the gun was empty but he violated one huge safety rule. Never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to destroy. He’s looking at involuntary manslaughter charges. Not a joking matter and anyone who makes fun of the situation is an asshole.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Live rounds shouldn’t have been allowed on the set. Period. The guns we used were used with blanks only and after we were done with them, we cleaned them and locked them up. You can get cylinders that will chamber a short blank cartridge but not chamber a regular round.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Yeah could well have been they were shooting live rounds on day off, a massive fuck up by prop master probably.
Still don't think the 'never point a gun' rule applies on a movie set where you would do that all the time. Most likely he was told to fire directly at the camera which would explain the DOP and director being hit.Last edited by Seshmeister; 10-23-2021, 11:11 PM.Comment

You could have a gunsmith modify any firearm to only chamber blanks. You just make the chamber shorter. Rounds with a bullet are longer and they won’t fit in a shorter chamber but a blank will. Doing that idiot proofs things. But blanks are still dangerous if fired directly at people at close range.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I've hated Alec Baldwin forever. Well before his Libtard douchebaggery.
Never saw one second of his portrayal of Trump on SNL, but understand he did an excellent version of him. Presidents have been targets of comedians and impressionists forever. Who cares about that?
Still, a shame this poor woman died, while this piece of shit lives.Comment

Saw something about the "Armorer" on set being only 22 and pretty new at working major productions. Her father apparently was a long time Hollywood weapons Armorer and she was following in the family cottage industry, but admitted she might have been in over her head in a radio interview long prior to this incident or even the start of filming...
At a rehearsal on the film set Thursday at Bonanza Creek Ranch outside Santa Fe, the gun Baldwin used was one of three that a firearms specialist, or “armorer,” had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to the court records.
Court records indicate that an assistant director, Dave Halls, grabbed a prop gun off a cart and handed it to Baldwin, indicating incorrectly that the weapon didn't carry live rounds by yelling “cold gun.”
When Baldwin pulled the trigger, he unwittingly killed Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her inside a wooden, chapel-like building.Last edited by Nickdfresh; 10-24-2021, 11:44 AM.Comment

Looks like my assumption is correct. The pistol was being used for target practice with live rounds. Nobody cleared the gun. Baldwin didn’t check the gun. This is the classic scenario of assuming the gun is unloaded. Such subsumption has caused lots of accidents. No excuse for it.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Classy...Donald Trump Jr has begun selling merchandise that mocks Alec Baldwin, who fatally shot a cinematographer during an on-set incident last week.
Mr Trump has been sharing several Instagram photos and stories since Thursday’s tragic film set incident in New Mexico, where Mr Baldwin was filming Rust outside Santa Fe.
One of the latest stories showed a T-shirt with the words: “Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people”. The Instagram story had a link to Mr Trump’s online website, where the T-shirt is being sold for $27.99Comment
