"The only way the testers could get it to fire was by striking the gun with a mallet while the hammer was down and resting on the cartridge or by pulling the trigger while it was fully cocked. The gun eventually broke during testing."
In other words it took a huge amount of force to attempt to get it to "accidentally" misfire.
With a projectile that could cause an end to life.
Sounds like it should have been placed in a bucket of sand facing satans forehead, instead of the camera operator
Better yet, this is a movie set, why are there firearms capable of fire a projectile in the first place? That firearm was going to fire the next time the trigger was pulled and it would have hit another actor during a scene instead of the camera operator.
