Is this a test?
Good turn of a phrase. I listen for language that matches up with the legal standard that must be proven by law enforcement in Court, when the ones who may take the case to trial call press conferences or make preliminary reports. I would call it fighting words if the Prosecutor said the conduct amounts to a depraved indifference to human life. They used "Complacency." They are signaling they are rolling over for Alec the Great.
Yes, you are right about the dummies for realism, but it is very rare that a blank is fired directly at the camera. You would use a full load dummy rounds for pointing the gun at the camera, or pointing it and pulling the hammer. That could be a threatening gesture. If there was an intent to show the gun shot, then there would be a cut right before the gun was fired, or CGI used.
All three are guilty to varying degrees. Baldwin is the most culpable as both the boss and the asshat that was either too stupid or lazy to bother to pop out the cylinder to inspect the rounds in the chambers.
I wonder if the police tested Baldwin for drugs and/or alcohol? A dime to a dollar that they did it.
Blah blah blah. How fast was Kyle rittenhouse locked up?
The husband IS a lawyer, by all accounts is well connected. They have convinced him that keeping off the Prosecutor is the better long game strategy for the estate.
The press keeps using the word "misfire" to indicate an accidental discharge, when in reality, a misfire is when a gun does not fire when the trigger is pulled meaning the cartrdige primer did not ignite the round.
Mary Jo Kopechne was the woman killed in Teddy Kennedy's Oldsmobile.
What do you gain with your condescending post?
The press has been describing blanks as live rounds and I wanted to be clear.
Here is a scene from Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven” where the term misfire is correctly used, at about the 2:25 mark in the video.

Yeah right, 60 + years of gun use and that has never happened to me. If a pebble is found in the autopsy I will be highly skeptical.
My guess is he murdered her in cold blood
the armorer...charming /s

They ruled that Alec Baldwin is more important than the dead woman.
Case closed.
.
Yes.
Not an “accidental fatal shooting”, but was negligent homicide, either.
Would you work in an environment where that thing was in charge of the weapons?
The ad copy, “This isn’t Teddy Kennedy’s Oldsmobile”, comes to mind.
I have a black powder Navy Colt revolver replica which I have converted to shoot cowboy (low velocity) cartridges. The nice thing about black powder guns is the sale doesn’t have to be registered.
The earlier photo presented was that of a dragoon replica. We now know that was incorrect. In movies, even when they use “cap and ball” revolvers they’ve been converted to use cartridges to make the armorer’s job easier. We are also likely running into the fact that modern journalists can’t tell the difference between an open-top colt and an open-top BMW.
