With a SA revolver, it is easy to check for ammo. It is also very easy to see if they are blanks or not.

The scene called for dummy rounds, not blanks or an empty cylinder. It's obvious now that no one checked the weapon.

Checking to see if a single-action revolver is loaded is easy enough. But to determine if the rounds are blank or real would require unloading the revolver and actually looking at each round. The dummy rounds I’ve seen have a distinctive color.

An accentual discharge could occur if one’s finger was on the trigger while cocking the hammer back. If Baldwin was practicing fast-draw, fast shooting, I suppose he have done that. But it was a rehearsal. No need for anything to be in the gun.

Dummy rounds are easy to check. Point the gun at the ground, in a safe direction, cock and pull the trigger. Six times.
