Showing an empty gun when the scene specifically called for a gun that appeared loaded? There were many steps that could have prevented the accident, that's why she's on trial too. His trial is later. And both could go either way, it's really just up to the juries here because it's an accidental death not an intentional murder, or even an argued defensive killing.

Notice carefully how the gun expert checks to see if the gun is loaded and never ever points the gun at anyone. The BIG question is why was there live ammo on a film set. That question need to be understood well before looking into how a loaded gun went off on set loaded with live ammunition. I'm sure we will find out soon who supplied the live ammo to a film set.

I don't Know about modern movie sets, but not that long ago there use was common practice, but only for very specific scenes, namely scenes that were shot with one actor with very few set crew. The live ammo was used in scenes where only the one person was in the frame and the implied target was out of the frame, it was done for realistic visual effect of the weapons recoil.

It is insane that this pistol made it all the way to Baldwin’s hand without being checked for live ammunition.

The Armorer is responsible for the real bullet being in the gun.

IMHO it's absolutely insane that the FBI destructively tested the actual pistol. Unless they very thoroughly documented the state of the firearm before the test, there is no way to prove if the damage occurred during the testing or before the on set shooting. Either way, I don't understand why they wouldn't simply use the same make, model, and caliber of firearm for this test. This seems like a gift to the defense to me.

If the defense had done something similar with a key piece of evidence they'd almost certainly be charged with evidence tampering. Either it was a huge blunder and they broke it by accident or something fishy is going on IMHO.

Double action triggers also fire the gun but the actions are 1. to pull back the hammer and 2. to release it. The most important thing in this case is if Baldwin had his finger holding the trigger when he cocked the hammer the gun would drop the hammer as soon as he had cocked it because the sear was already out of the way via him holding down the trigger. look up fanning a single action revolver thats realistically happened in this situation. armorer is negligent for live ammo on set and baldwin is negligent as a producer not as a murderer

I learned a lot about the functioning of the weapon. Excellent presentation!

There was no armorer on this set, period. The producers interviewed actual armorer's and refused to hire them, because they didn't want to fill 2 rolls as insisted by the producers. So in my opinion there was no armorer at all, they gave a fraudulent title to a 24 year old filling 2 different roles with essentially zero firearms experience. Just watch her Police interview, it's obvious she has no actual experience with firearms. In fact, I'm pretty sure the job posting for her job said Armorer experience "preferred" but NOT REQUIRED.

Per SAG: The Industry Standards for safety with firearms and use of blank ammunition are clearly laid out in Safety Bulletin 1, provided by the Joint Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Commission. The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use, and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include “inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence,” and “checking all firearms before each use.” The guidelines do not make it the performer’s responsibility to check any firearm. Performers train to perform, and they are not required or expected to be experts on guns or experienced in their use. The industry assigns that responsibility to qualified professionals who oversee their use and handling in every aspect. Anyone issued a firearm on set must be given training and guidance in its safe handling and use, but all activity with firearms on a set must be under the careful supervision and control of the professional armorer and the employer.

There is also a gun master intended specifically to make sure these kind of things don't happen. And as stated in court there'd be no way to distinguish between ammo types. What we need to know is if it is standard practice for movie stars to take out ammo and check for themselves. If it is then he should be charged. If it isn't then he should not. Also he's stayed clearly he never even pulled the trigger.

The Industry Standards for safety with firearms and use of blank ammunition are clearly laid out in Safety Bulletin 1, provided by the Joint Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Commission. The guidelines require an experienced, qualified armorer to be put in charge of all handling, use, and safekeeping of firearms on set. These duties include “inspecting the firearm and barrel before and after every firing sequence,” and “checking all firearms before each use.” The guidelines do not make it the performer’s responsibility to check any firearm. Performers train to perform, and they are not required or expected to be experts on guns or experienced in their use. The industry assigns that responsibility to qualified professionals who oversee their use and handling in every aspect. Anyone issued a firearm on set must be given training and guidance in its safe handling and use, but all activity with firearms on a set must be under the careful supervision and control of the professional armorer and the employer.

Bingo, that is the million-dollar question; The who, why, how did a live round get on a set. Not Alec pulling the trigger or failing the check the gun. The set was supposed to have either blanks and ammo that looked real that was inert or made inoperative. No live gun firing or any live ammo was expected in this set. Alec would have expected one of the two types of ammo, not a real 45colt round. A lot of people are on a hate trip over Alec, but the armorer played a very important factor in this death and injury. She will be found guilty and Alex not guilty. Alec will have a wrongful death lawsuit and pay from a civil perspective.

Oh no, my statement is absolutely true and made through a lifetime of firearms safety protocol, as well as my previous service as a member of the U.S. military. Blanks, and inert rounds, are the only type of ammunition that should ever be on a film set and the barrel must be checked for obstructions before each scene is filmed that uses the firearm. The real negligence is having live ammo on a movie set. Their so called "safety officer" was ignorant and incompetent. As far as myself knowing what happened, either a live round was fired from the gun, or an obstruction was propelled out of the barrel by the pressure produced from a blank round. This is the mechanical reason for the accident. As far as criminal responsibility, I do not attempt to address that issue, as I am no lawyer. But you, stating that Baldwin "chose" to point a loaded firearm at people on the set, implies that he knew it was loaded and chose to go through the mechanics to index a live round into battery. This makes you seem like a red hat spin doctor.

Going off “half cocked” is more than a euphemism. I’m also a firearms expert. Have been since about 1975. When I read the tale of this shooting, I pulled out a revolver of that style (single action) to check. I decided that Alex Baldwin had to have made up his story. By hiring an armorer with little apparent authority on a set, he didn’t do himself any favors. For someone to permit live rounds on the set is absolutely unacceptable. Period. Alex then proceeded to violate the most basic of firearms safety rules. This accident should never have happened. This is the perfect person to analyze this firearm-he has no agenda other than to get to the truth. An important point to focus upon. SOMEONE knows who put live cartridges into the revolver.

I’m surprised he didn’t explain his single bullet theory😂

The only person responsible for the death of the woman and the other person being shot is Alec Baldwin. He ignored every safety protocol for handling firearms on set. He did not check the weapon to see if it was loaded. And he pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger. It doesn't matter what the armorer did. He's the one that pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. If person A picks up a gun and loads it and hands it to person B, and then person B points it at person C and pulls the trigger and shoots and kills them, the only person responsible for the death of person C is Person B. What person A did with the gun before person B killed person C with it doesn't matter at all.

The fact of the matter is thus. If you "do not intend" to discharge a firearm, and you still do discharge a firearm - you have committed an offence - negligent discharge, and have failed basic firearm safety. On movie sets, the armourer and firearms experts are mandated by law to provide basic firearm safety training. To which this incident demonstrates was either not the case - or that Mr Baldwin negligently discharged the firearm in spite of that training. Baldwin is to blame. The only question should be whether or not the set armourers/firearms coordinators should share the responsibility. Anyone that's ever used firearms responsibly and frequently and for a long time knows exactly who is to blame here. I've never known anyone to negligently discharge a firearm, myself include. What are the number one rules? "Never point your muzzle at anything that you're not prepared and willing to destroy." "Treat every gun as if it's loaded even if you KNOW it's not." "Keep your finger away from the trigger outside of the trigger guard (and away from the hammer if it's such a revolver/shotgun)." Guilty.

so the sear may have snapped and caused the hammer to fall with no trigger input. and we still arrive back at the first rule of gun safey: always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. even if you think it's not loaded. even if you're acting. even if you think it's physically impossible for a bullet to leave the muzzle. even if you think it's loaded with inert rounds or blanks. even if you disassembled and reassembled it and no rounds have been loaded. you could be wrong. you are still negligent. it is a device that is intended to use an explosion to launch a projectile at 900+ feet per second. should always be treated as such, no matter what condition you believe it to be in.

Degreed in 1963, he has to be 80 at least, but he looks 63.

Clint Eastwood didn't waste time or money on retakes, and nearly always came in under budget because he didn't waste time on unnecessary retakes. I remember an actor being interviewed about working with Eastwood he was nervous about his performance after a scene and asked Eastwood if he wanted to do a retake, Eastwood replied "why do you like wasting time"

This man is incredibly satisfying to listen to. I love him.
