I think the thing that confuses me most is why they even have live ammo on a film set if the intent is to only ever fire blanks? Seems a foolish thing to do, and if you need it for some specific scene (like say a wide shot of him doing target shooting) why would it not be secured away from the props so that it could never be loaded in without proper safety reviews being ensured?

Feels like there is more to the story that 'scab prop guy messed up'

Why do they even have a real weapon on the movie set?

I’ve seen replicas that look pretty close and cannot fire a round

Me too. But if Baldwin and others were responsible for checking the gun then all should be held legally responsible.

I’m pretty sure they do occasionally use live fire for certain scenes, and follow protocol when they do as far as keeping everything separate. I haven’t heard that this movie had any true live fire scenes yet. I have read that supposedly some of the crew were using the weapons for recreational shooting on off time.
