Yes, but that's why there are supposed to be weapons experts on scene to ensure the guns used in movies are either incapable of firing, or absolutely unloaded.
I understand your point, and that's how I treat guns too. They're always loaded, even if you just unloaded it, but different reasons to have a gun, and reasons to aim it at people consentingly, securely, and safely. And before you hit me with "IT'S NEVER SAFE", they usually remove the firing pin, use a solid dummy magazine, and block the barrel and chamber... If two consenting adults want to do that in a theatrical setting, then so be it, it's safe enough for them.
Of course, there's blanks, but that's a whole different story with different safety regulations because blanks can still kill you with air pressure.
I was shot in the face from the side by a pistol with blanks. It peppered my face but, luckily, missed my eye. This happened in a public park in the UK. My parents reported it to a policeman at the entrance but nothing happened. "Just kids playing."
It happens! People think blanks are totally safe and point blank shoot themselves or their friends, and end up killing that friend or dead themselves.
It was a revolver.
That doesn't make anything I said false, so what's your point? Nobody made sure the gun was unloaded, completely free of live ammunition, or made inoperable. , and that let Baldwin kill someone... What does it being a revolver have anything to do with my point?
Actually, can you articulate what my point even was, because I'm almost positive you missed it.
