Doesn’t matter. The bimbo allowed real rounds on set and let people take them shooting after work. (posing for selfies in-between of course)
Why would they need to look real if they’re never seen by the camera?
So many unanswered questions ... IMHO a good civil attorney could sue and convict the whole crew on the set.... Make them “shoot holes” in all the different scenarios he could come up with.....settle or we'll see you in court...
Not inert. Blanks have primers and powder in them to make them go 'BANG!'
... and listen for the distinct sound of B.B.s rattling inside.
BBs? BBs would be projectiles. You could hear the powder rattling around inside.
Whoever this is saying that blanks are inert and have BBs inside doesn't know what they're talking about.
I could seat a bullet in a case with a spent primer and no powder that would look real, if you didn’t look at the primer, but why? How many movies do you see close ups of ammunition, other than in bandoliers or cartridge belts? They can edit scenes and do cutaways so you would never need to do a ‘loading‘ scene and a shooting scene in the same take. The armorer should have been all over these issues. And she should have schooled the actors on some basic firearms safety if there were operable firearms on the set. Her job was 1) safety, and 2) realism, in that order. Claiming she didn’t know there was live ammo on the set, or that she didn’t know the revolver was loaded, are admissions of dereliction of her responsibility.
I know he’ll probably never spend a day in jail, but Please, Please, please let this incident ruin Alex Baldwin financially, emotionally, and professionally.
Thank you. No further requests at this time.
Baldwin has changed my mind on gun control. I now believe we should ban all guns found in possession of idiot liberals since they clearly don’t know the first thing about them. If it will save one cinematographer, it will be worth it.
Desperate to cover for the piece of shiite, aren’t they?

Blanks simply do not look like live rounds.
