Notice that from the beginning of this tragedy the use of the phrase “prop gun”. My guess is that this was a fully-functioning revolver, probably a replica and possibly an authentic period piece that was used that fired live ammo. The fact that it was a ‘prop’ on a movie set does not discredit its functionality.

I noted that earlier. They use the term “prop” gun to try to lessen the responsibility of Baldwin and the crew. It was not any special sort of gun. It was a generic Colt Peacemaker clone. People might think that a prop gun is some sort of special weapon and that therefore this was just a tragic accident. Nope. It was a real gun. And Baldwin and the Armorer are criminally negligent. They are lucky they have a Soros Prosecutor to help them out. That and the special dispensation that actors and movie companies seem to get from LEs.

This is the type of revolver used by Baldwin in the fatal incident. It is a Colt 45 long barrel replica.

It's so easy to check the cylinder and barrel of a revolver to see if it's loaded and, if yes, with what type of cartridges. There is zero excuse why Baldwin did not take literally a minute to check the firearm. Although others in the gun's chain of custody were also negligent, as the last person to handle the gun and only person to fire it, Baldwin bears the lion's share of responsibility. Also, if that set was as undisciplined as has been reported, Baldwin bears responsibility as a producer, meaning management.
