By pulling back the hammer of the gun (but not far enough to cock it) and letting go of that hammer when a live round is in the chamber.

Doesn’t work with that model of firearm.

Not true. Still won’t fire.

But then it would stop at half-cock. He had to pull the trigger.

When this first happened, other freepers informed me that this reproduction gun comes in two versions. One version is exactly like the original and does not have a "half cock" position, and a later version that was made more safe by adding a "half cock" notch for the hammer.
If Baldwin had the earlier version of this gun, he could have pulled the hammer way past the half cock position and then let it fall.
A firing is virtually guaranteed if this is what happened.
