First time I’m swing it. Funny because I get annoyed when something is repeated

Sounds like it was a real gun and not a prop.

They use real guns..with blanks/squi s. Bur h2avily conteolled peocess.

"Prop guns" can qualify as firearms. Should never be pointed at someone.

Sounds like a murder mystery plot.

Very irresponsible set. Wow. You don't play with the guns even if you think

Someone screwed up..gu2ssing the firearms guy

10/21/21 9:39pm

Holy cow. How tragic. I feel awful both for the families of the victims and for Baldwin.

I'll never forget when Phineas Bogg died. It ruined one of my favorite shows

I’ve seen at least five different cop shows with this exact plot line.

This sounds like a ridiculous movie plot. What the crap?!?

Quite a few actors have actually been charged with murder

This is weird there is serious firearm protocols for movies

10/21/21 9:37pm

Yeah, how does an actor end up with a gun with live ammunition? Just

I’m sure we don’t. Just saw one report that it was but

rocker

Were both hit with 1 shot, or was it 2 shots? I know you don't know this, but it

The article said “meant to be loaded with blanks” as if it weren’t. But then

10/21/21 11:39pm

A blank can still be lethal

There’s usually not a projectile with blanks. Just the gunpowder in the shell. Hence why they’re blanks.

Spiff

10/21/21 10:03pm

Blanks have to be encased in brass or other metal

I didn’t realize the adapter we put on our M16s stopped anything when we went to the field to fire blanks. I thought it

Spiff

10/21/21 10:19pm

And usually a wad. Like USMC said, there will often be some sort of projectile. A kid in St G killed himself anfew

molodyets

10/21/21 10:12pm

There has to be paper or cotton or some other substance to block the gunpowder.

How do real bullets magically end up on set if the Plan is for blanks? Seems

Just spitballing here but the dialogue may have sounded like this:
