IF it was an authentic replica or real 1800's pistol, the trigger mechanism would not have been the modern version, nor would it have a striker plate. The article said those are sometimes preferred for authenticity. Even so, there is still absolutely no reason live ammo should have been anywhere near that set.Glypto Dropemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567172318032611333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57194459299208509.post-25824512484042087302021-12-03T19:27:00.089-05:002021-12-03T19:27:00.089-05:00How in the hell do we know when bloated arrogant h...How in the hell do we know when bloated arrogant hack baldwin is acting or actually telling the truth???

It doesn't mean "fake". The firearms used in Baldwin's movie were "real" functioning firearms that should have been loaded with blanks. I haven't seen any explanation of why live rounds were in that firearm. It really doesn't matter. Baldwin blew a series of obvious safety rules when he picked up the firearm, didn't check the ammunition, pointed the firearm at the woman and then pulled the trigger. He owns the result. He took all the foolish steps that made it happen. There was no mechanical failure involved. There was no screw-up in a scripted performance. The screw-up was the failure to honor a string of firearm safety rules, any one of which would probably kept the woman alive. <br /><br />Since he is one of the Hollywood "worthies", this will probably be handled as an "accident" by an insurance company.

There is, supposedly, an expert who maintains the firearms and selects the proper blank load for the flash, smoke, or muzzle blast that is needed for the scene. They may have hired "some guy" to save on salary and they paid the price. Firearms with "blanks" are not "cap guns". As usual, an employee paid the bill. The Director got nicked and the Producer (Alec B.) was apparently unharmed. Many of the historical firearms came from the era of black powder and thus had high volume cartridge cases which could easily accept a double charge of a modern propellant. Even with a blank, not a "cap gun".Mike-SMOnoreply@blogger.com
