If they told us this at the start it would have saved a bunch of time. This thing woman is f_cking ditz head. In her interview she stated she was scared of loading blanks! So glad they had gender equality though! This is what happens when people are selected for jobs for reason totally unrelated to the job itself. This should give people a clue of where the U.S. is headed with all the female appointees and employees.

Should point out that the lethal accident WAS THE THIRD ACCIDENTAL LIVE FIRE DISCHARGE ON THAT SORRY ASS SET! The first time should have been the last time. Goes to show how stupid those people are.

Just to be fair to the woman, 24 yro man might not do any better. By the way, anyone know how the blanks are identified? Different color?

The live rounds have a bullet pressed into the cartridge, and it takes up most of the length. It's unmistakable. The blank has the end crimped and is much shorter and lighter. Anyone who can't tell the difference is retarded. A male armorer takes his job much more seriously, double checks his work, and never makes a mistake like this.

That sounds about right for today's generation. Takes a job they are
not ready for and an armorer that is afraid of the equipment that is
being used.

Maybe she should take a job as a fluffer on a porn movie.

Main thing is why are any live rounds even being allowed on movie sets ?

I think in this movie they were using any thing they could to make it
cheap and save money.

They might have to shoot at something real. But pointing a gun and pulling the trigger at the camera woman is just unacceptable. Was it a joke he was making?

I can't see any reason to have real* live ammo on a film set, but if showing ammo closeup, like loading a gun, you need
dummy rounds that look real but have no propellant or primers

*I read somewhere that industry practice use the term "live" for anything that'll go bang, including blanks

Gun kick looks more realistic with a real gun. But some studios are
doing the gun shots with totally fake guns and computer effects. It
worked for light sabers.

But gun shots are a fundamental part of the movie industry.

A bullet causes what's called a cavitation as it passes through the target. Cavitation is a high pressure shockwave traveling radially outward from the axis of the trajectory. A big 45 caliber bullet can cause a cavitation of as much as 4 inches, it ends up stretching and rupturing everything it comes in contact with. The cavitation from a square chest shot should destroy the heart, in addition to a bunch of absolutely vital blood vessels, like the aorta.

Back in the old days, bullets were expensive and hard to come by. When they shot something they wanted it dead right then and there, and with one shot.

guns without some recoil it looks extremely fake, so they use blanks.
But actually shooting at something with real bullets?

Close up, head on shots of a man with gun about to fire are very common.
He has to pull the trigger to make it look real.
Then some smoke needs to appear.
The sound effect is added later.

Blank rounds usually have the neck of the casing crimped
to close the casing, (although some have the neck closed with
a paper disc etc instead). It would be hard for a blind person to mistake them
for live rounds.

In any case in this instance Baldwin claims that he was told that the
gun was not loaded at all (or loaded with dummy rounds)

This whole thing went south when the assistant director grabbed a gun off of a cart placed there by this so-called armorer and rushed it to Baldwin w/o clearing it and said that it was "cold." Why did the armorer put a live round in the gun to begin with? This is shear incompetence on her part. Why didn't the assistant clear the weapon? Why didn't Baldwin clear the weapon? Where did the live round come from? This reminds me of airplane accidents that are the result of not one single fault, but a chain of faults. These idiots had multiple chances to catch their mistake and blew every one. This stinks of a totally absent safety culture that prioritizes speed over safety, which is what the original crew was complaining about.

** FFS how many times do you have to be told a "dummy" round looks like a live one.
They are used in any situation where the round may become visible on camera.

Eg
actor loading the gun OR with a revolver a close up shot that shows the cylinder from the front.
As in this case.

That round you're calling a dummy is inert, there is no propellant in the cartridge. You can't use those in place of blank which is supposed to make noise and smoke.

** FFS shithead - a "cold" gun does not go bang.

It may have dummy rounds in it for looks.
So it cannot be " cleared " of rounds.

These people made it sound like a cold gun was loaded with blanks. Why would someone point a gun with useless inert rounds at the camera and pull the trigger. One video shows the rifle they were using as manual bolt action. Live blanks are required to operate an automatic bolt action, but it doesn't look like that's what they were using.
Go waste someone else's time on irrelevant minutia.

well, US will also happely make the head of a cookie factory
head of an electronics company, no in depth knowledge needed...

It was supposed to be a " cold gun " so no cap or powder.
The Colt revolver went off by accident while being withdrawn from its holster - firing sideways to how Alec was standing.

The people struck were not near the camera but were crowded around a monitor.
So a double freak accident.

No. Blank rounds for a starter pistol. But ANYTHING on a movie set
where aiming directly at someone will NEVER have ANY brass out in front
of the exploding charge. They are standard cartridges with paper and
or wax seals being all there is to blow out.

Don't want no flying crimps heading toward any actors.

I see no report of this. Some says "the actor fired the gun", not a misfire. Perhaps we need to wait for more reporting.

I know they probably want a direct shot aiming at the camera, but camera man/woman can stay away from the line of fire with a simple wire or wireless remote. So, we need more info before talking about what happened.

** Just this afternoon. Very detailed.
Alec was a waking backwards out the door of the church building.
The ( digital ) camera was inside the church, unattended buy its normal crew.

Wonder if it was running at the time.

Double-checking *your own* work isn't good enough. Someone else needs to

If I mess up something the first time, it often looks just as fine to me

According to one journalist who is an NRA member (the kind of person
they should have had on set, but never would allow) the gun was first
used with a squib, which looks like a bullet but has no powder, then
with a blank, which propelled a leftover fragment of the squib.

The story is suddenly even more interesting. They should make this into
a new movie, Rust, about the making of the movie Rust.

"The sources claimed some crew members took guns off set to practice
with live ammo, which they believe found its way into Alec Baldwin's gun"

Some of the winger NRA member gun nut crew, "the kind of person they
should have had on set, but never would allow", took the gun out to play
with!

The 64 million judgement is who did it and what and when Baldwin knew. Can't blame the 24 yro if there were live bullets left in the gun. From back of the wheel, it's hard to tell the difference between real and blank. She would have to look from the front of the wheel to see, but that is also bad practice. Most people check a revolver wheel from the back.

WTF??? If you are the person responsible, you are responsible. If the weapon has been out of your control at all, you take it apart if required to verify its state. I'm surprised it is not routine to use a tool to verify the barrel is clear of debris before firing a live round even if blank. Any bit of contamination can turn into a projectile when fired.

There is no excuse for the person responsible not knowing the complete state of the weapon, period. Everyone else takes information provided by this person as gospel.

This whole debacle just keeps on getting more and more bizarre. For a prop gun to be taken off-set for target practice, which obviously requires live rounds, is totally against all safety protocols. And having live rounds on-set is yet another indefensible breach of safety protocols. If found to be true, which it appears to be, this would mean that Gutierrez-Reed, the so-called armorer, was completely and utterly incompetent. It is no wonder why the fired union crew were rightfully concerned about gun safety on the set. This production was a sordid layer cake of incompetence, negligence and hubris. Someone needs to be held criminally accountable, and The Jerk Baldwin is at the top of that short list. Soon to come will be multi-million dollar civil lawsuits.

We still don't have all the details. I assume the gun was in a lock box with Reed having a key, but who else? Who took it out with or without Reed and Baldwin knowing. Yes, Baldwin will be somewhat responsible as the boss who set the rules. How much he know and overlook would determine his liabilities. I think 64 millions sound right.

Dummy rounds look real - that is the whole idea.
Used when the camera can see the rounds from some angle.

Yeah I just came back here to correct that because I just realized she

Although the gun in this case was used with real bullets when the crew
was playing with it after hours, and they stored real ammo near the
blanks.

When are you cock heads going to use the correct names ??
Blanks and live rounds look *very different*.

Alec's gun was not meant to have blanks.
It was meant to have *dummy* rounds.
Dummy rounds are inert lookalikes for lives ones.

You see them all the time in western movies when a gun is being loaded or unloaded.
Also when a close up image of a revolver must not show empty chambers.

You ALWAYS have the gun pointed away from you AND everyone else. Period. To check if the barrel of a revolver is clear you MUST open the cylinder to see down the barrel from the rear.

Blanks in the cylinder will look very similar, if not identical, to live rounds - the only way to check them is to empty them out of the cylinder for a visual inspection.

If you are picking nits about the wheel, the old western revolvers do
not have cylinders that swing out. They are fixed in place and to
load/unload them there is a loading gate on the side that is used.
No way to look down the barrel from the rear.

Absolutely not. It was old west slang and it was also used in NYC
by the police, and it got revitalized and used as police forces began
embracing semi-automatic weapons for use as their 'service weapon'.

No. NOT "rare slang" you retarded fuck.

Common use among industries where handguns are used, such as law
enforcement.

It was also used in a slightly derogative way by those LEOs whom were

Which is fair enough but they shouldn't have lead bullets in them if
they are intended as stage props for close ups. Live ammunition is
distinctly nose heavy. There is no reason why stage props have to be so.

The key point appears to be that at least one live round somehow got
mixed up with the look alike close shot dummy rounds.

Nope. It refers to... directly to revolvers.

Except, you stupid putz child who cannot handle losing a debate,
when it is referred to as a wheel gun. Which it very often is even
today. It is NOT a "rare slang" term. It IS a COMMONLY USED
nickname for a revolver. It is not about the cylinder. The nickname
refers to the entire gun type.

Wheels revolve. A revolver revolves.

Anyoe with any good training at all would know not to point a gun at
theirselves , especially to check to see if it was loaded.

The old western guns cylinders do not swing out. There is no way from
the back end of the gun to give it a quick look. The loading gate must
be opened and the cylinder rotated by hand so each hole will pass by to
check to see if anything is in the gun.

From what I am seeing is that some of the stage people were using live

So you think Baldwin knew all about getting to the restroom which makes him responsible for the actions of a professional and expert in a field?

I think we should hold Caltran responsible! If they provided free movie props, the filming would have been in California where safety is more important than getting work done with the only shooting being with a camera.

Well, he is responsible for firing the previous armorer and hiring the new armorer. But until the new armorer is up to speed, the boss is still responsible for what happened. If i am her, i would say:

Defendent absolutely and category deny any responsibility to the incident. I was hired to the job only days before the time of the incident, and was still in the process of the transition of taking over the task. When the transition task is completed, i would secure the properties (firearms and bullets) in my absolute and total control, including but not limited to, checking all inventories and changing all locks. However, this defendent was not yet in total control of the situation, and despite my suggestion, the primary defendent went ahead with production before the proper transition was completed.

The same armorer had previously handed a gun to a child actress, an 11
year-old girl, without adequately inspecting it. Nobody would hold the
girl responsible if there had been an accident.

There were "half cock" versions where only a single round would be
already lined up with the barrell and the trigger half cocked such
that pulling back the hammer to full cock position does not rotate
the cylinder as it was previously rotated by the half cocking set.
In such a case, a round could be in the gun and ready and not be
visible from the front.

But most old western guns were single action through and through
and had no "half cock" position for the hammer and every cocking
rotates the cylinder.

In any event no actual operable guns, much less matching ammunition
should have been on the set, other than the one(s) the security crew
utilizes.

I have a question... Has anyone here seen "Squid Game"? and if
so, how do you think they do the so realistic shootings that are in
every episode? (not the film... guns!).

They were made in South Korea (The show) and it is very good
cinematography. Y'all should check it out and do it before dinner.

Squid Game is on Netflix.

I agree. Any shooting range should be constructed at least 50
yards from any set and facing away from it.

Naaaaw... I really do agree with you, pay no atention to that
joke.
There is a time and a place for extracirricular activities and that
is after shooting... and OFF set. And one's guns and ammo belong
off set as well.

In NYC one has to keep one's gun in their trunk and disassembled
and the ammo elsewhere. Stemmed out of the old mob days when, I
guess, Sicillian drive bys and barbershop assassinations were
occuring.
But they put your ass in prison for years for getting caught with a
ready to go and loaded weapon, so folks just don't do it (other than
the criminals of course). And couriers can get them if they handle
cash.

So part of it is a mentality which then fosters an atmosphere of
casuality and then procedural doctrine mistakes occur, then then
procedural actual mistakes occur and they then get declared as having
been an accident.

One more reason this is so bad is that sets of events such as this
can be staged pretty precisely to appear as random happenstance. And
that is bad because we will never know.

How many different ways can a live round that fits an on set real
firearm get put together on a set where no such pairing is supposed
to happen?

That's why it would be a good movie for the making of "Murder by Rehearsal of a Movie". One good plot is for the actor to silence the actress after an affair. Not saying this is related to any fact at all. Just a good movie script. Possibilities are endless.

I think that has been done many years in the past. That is someone

Why is Baldwin responsible for anything. Is Baldwin head of personnel? Did he do the background investigation on the armorer himself? If she worked for IBM, would you want to hold Arvind Krishna personally responsible?

BTW, what happened to waiting until all the facts are known?

What part of being the armorer was not yet in her control? Wasn't she the person who secured the equipment and indicated the prop was "cold"?

If this her defense in court I would convict her. She needs to provide something we call "proof", i.e. evidence that someone was interfering with her doing her job. Once a new armorer is on the job that person should have total control and responsibility. You keep talking as if she was a kid being trained on the job. No one has indicated that was the case.

They pulled the release from the theaters "The Machurian

There's nothing there about a revolver not being a type of gun. Phil does have reading comprehension problems.

It is an American usage. It isn't all that rare - I'm certainly familiar with it, and I'm not any kind of gun nut.

It is, in that context.

DLUNU was searching in America. Phil was searching in Australia. Google's reaction to search terms does depend on where the search request is coming from.

> Cos the term is rare US slang.

Not that rare in America, and Google would react differently to a search query from an America site than to a search query from Australian site. It seems to keep a file of every query that I've ever made and seems to adjust what it throws up does seem to to reflect what it seem think it has worked out about my interests.

That is the job she had, to secure the items and assure they are 100% under her control. It's not unlike being a parent. If you take your kid to the park and let them loose, you are responsible for making sure you know where they are and who interacts with them. YOUR JOB and YOUR JOB alone. You can't blame another person when something bad happens.

I can appreciate the fact that you don't really get the concept of responsibility. You expect others to be responsible for providing charging for your car rather than being responsible for arranging charging yourself.

Nice job of backpedalling there, putz. First it was rare slang,

Like I said, snip boy. First page, filled with revolvers.

First page of Google Images search... filled with revolvers AND
even revolver rifle implementations.

And yes, dipshit, I DID refer the the cylinder as "a wheel" because
THAT is exactly how it got its moniker to begin with.

Hey Dude, your OWN LINK shows the barrel being pointed AT YOU, you dumb shit. I wouldn't do that, but you probably would. I would empty the rounds from the cylinder and examine each individually.

Yes, like say Opals in Australia. They know all the 'slang'
regarding the "mining" thereof. We in the US know little of it. I
prefer the term "jargon". Because 'slang' has a "filthy" connotation
to me. Sorta like Phil does.

So the US is likely full of jargon related to guns that narrow
minded, ill educated Phil could possibly grasp with his acute tunnel
vision.
