Apparently the .45 Colt Single Action Army was a 'live' gun and loaded with 'live' rounds according to https://eu.usatoday.com/story/entert...ow/6132795001/
Unbelievably lax firearm safety measures if so.
Lawsuits will obviously follow if that was the case.

Why would you have a 1800s period correct handgun loaded with live rounds on a film set? I can't think of a reason.
No idea. But there are plenty of SAA Colts and replicas being used in the USA. Probably more common than blank firers. Perhaps a misunderstanding, no doubt the truth will out.Originally Posted by hogthrob
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Looks like the barrel restrictor has come loose ,this would explain both people being hit by what was basically shrapnel .
Even though I was a blank round it still has a good amount of charge behind it.
Reading latest this morning the usual crew (union) walked off set hours before due to disagreements over working conditions,safety and hotel arrangements….
New non union crew took over….
But armour / props was same lady….
One of the Directors took a gun from a table handed it to Baldwin as a (cold gun)….he fired shot at camera as Directed …however it was apparently loaded with a 45 cal or similar live round which went through the cinematographer and then into shoulder of director stood behind her…
So many questions……

Because 'merica...because denial....because it'll never happen to you...
Flippant crap.
Having a bad day?
Name another country other than America where this sort of sh!t happens?
Name another country where gun ownership is so ingrained that they allow this to happen?
Name another country that's more blase about gun accidents?
