I wonder about something else in the way of responsibility of actors on the set. Aren’t they required to sign some papers for insurance purposes on what they can and can’t do? I know the insurers will demand higher premiums for actors who do their own stunts. Has to be some language on the policies when weapons are used making the movie.
Sounds like loose ammo was laying around all over the place.
There are safety protocols to be followed on set/site. If you would like to hear about them, check this out - worth your time:

Baldwin was not only an actor, he was also a ‘producer’ which puts him at the top of the responsibility chain for having procedures in place & seeing that they are followed. His insurance company won’t be paying out (opinion of various attorneys commenting on the matter) .... & he’s likely to not be able to get insurance on any future projects.
