“a live round with a prop gun”….
..a prop gun can’t fire a live round. Those are called firearms. And a “trained actor” as Baldwin is, should know better. Or at least the guy who handed him the real gun. This is straight up a premeditated situation. Either to kill her, or get Baldwin in trouble, something. But for sure this is no accident. A real gun doesn’t accidentally end up on a movie set, esp nowadays.
Yeah, that does sound odd. You would think there would be no way to fire a real round from a prop gun. Though I'll admit, I no nothing about prop guns.
Movie sets use real guns. But, the odds of missing the intended target (the other actor) and hitting and killing an innocent bystander, that you just happen to not like, seem rather low.
No, they don’t use anything real. Not the gun, nor the ammo. Neither, outside of security, will be present. It’s been that way for a long time, and was solidified after The Crow.
And I’m referring to regular motion pictures….not some Seal Team 6 documentary. Where the actors are real service members kinda thing. Not sure about those. But if it’s all actors…yes, all fake.
I saw something years ago that gave me the impression that many of the guns they use are real, but the ammo is fake. But I could be wrong, so not arguing the point.
I was lead to believe the barrels of prop guns are intentionally too narrow to allow a proper caliber projectile to escape, they can fire blank round gas and smoke can leave the barrel, but if you put a live round in it and fired it'd damage it, perhaps even spectacularly.
but who knows if it was a 44 and someone put a 357 in it.. or anything with the right size brass and smaller projectile?
My son was on a movie set and they didnt use real guns that would be in any way operable at all
I have heard a theory that A-list Hollywood actors produce snuff films to exclusively screen for elites, and that Epstein island was mainly for the purpose of producing such films. Pretty far fetched theory but who knows.
Very weird how much spent live ammunition there was on the rust set.
Prop gun, real gun.. doesn't matter. What matters is proper weapon handling protocol no matter the weapon. Baldwin failed. No one is responsible for the death of this lady but Baldwin. Number one rule of weapon handling is to verify the weapons status the minute one takes control of the weapon. It's not the previous possessors responsibility, but the current possessor. Baldwin failed to execute this rule. She's dead because of this.
His defense team will try to spin this in every way imaginable: moon phase, sun angle, hemorrhoids, humidity, puppy farts, set armorer, PTSD of camera lens reflection, dry doughnuts and bad hair gel as the real reason the gun lept from its holster into Baldwins hand and then went "Pew!" all on its own.
Improper weapon handling protocol is the ONLY reason this woman is dead. It is indefensible from any point of argument. Baldwin, and only Baldwin failed to verify the weapon, no else is responsible for that but Baldwin. This is a no brainer... Baldwin is guilty.
Anything can fire a live round. Hell, as a kid I'd throw rocks at shotgun shells. Stupid? Yes. But it works. All you need is a force hitting the ignition point.
Prop guns don’t even have the firing capability, to fire a live round. A hammer and nail would have a chance, a prop gun is closer to a cap gun. Just straight up not able. Real guns and live rounds will not be on a movie set, unless someone had bad intentions.
Sadly my experience in some of this is from my younger days modeling, and trying to go into films. Meeting many people, I’m glad I no longer have anything to do with. They were very nice people, but I think now…how much crap was I about to get into in. And this was several years ago. Thank you Lord.
I am glad intervention occurred to get you out of that scene. I am so thankful that my son's own acting career was very short lived as a move out of state changed the course of an acting gig he was involved in that was just being pitched to Pedowood. By the grace of God, our whole family was removed from that world and did not have to find out through first hand experience what it is all about. Only problem is, many of his former child actor friends are still involved in it, two in particular, and one I really think has been exposed to far too much for such a young child and I am afraid of what she may have already experienced in that world...
Anything can fire a live round, as you said a hammer and nail.
Well no, not anything..I never said that. But is it possible for somethings? Yes. But a prop gun, would never be able to. It’s like snapping your fingers, and being able to fire a live round. Not gonna happen. Prop guns don’t have the mechanisms, nor the capability to even hold a real live round. And neither are allowed on movie sets. Except by, as ive said, security, or…someone with bad intentions. Which is what this was. Question is, who?
