Doesn’t matter. The bimbo allowed real rounds on set and let people take them shooting after work. (posing for selfies in-between of course) How do you know that? Everything I've read says these claims are false.
And your usage of the terms "bimbo" and "posing for selfies" tell me you've already judged her before the evidence has been presented.

What is wrong with you people? I see people over and over blaming the woman and focusing all their hatred on her instead of the dumb @$$ who actually pulled the trigger, or the other dumb @$$ who handed him the gun without checking it. (Which is a violation of set rules anyway.)
What is it about this woman that makes people want to scapegoat her before we've heard the rest of the facts?

Why would they need to look real if they’re never seen by the camera? Dummy bullets are used in scenes in which the gun is pointed at the camera and you need the appearance of slugs in the cylinder. Dummy bullets are also used in scenes in which an actor is shown to be loading a gun.
Blanks are used in scenes where a flash, a bang, smoke and a recoil need to occur.

This is not true according the Assistant Director’s attorney.
No wonder Alec is pooping his pants like Joe Biden.

I am well aware of that.
I am also well aware of the single action loading and unloading process.
My favorite gun and it is grossly under rated by the present generation.
Nevertheless, it should be done when one is given a weapon.
And fanning is an absolute no-no. It will ruin a single action.

Blanks simply do not look like live rounds.

Thanks for your responses.
A circus it was indeed and Arec Barwin was the ringmaster.
Soon to be reduced to scooping up after the elephant. :)

For a revolver you just open the cylinder and look. Next you rod the barrel to make sure there isn’t an obstruction that would be launched by the blank. Shooting for checking in just really stupid.

Dummy rounds do not contain BBs. Those would be “snake shot”: making the pistol shoot shotgun-like projectiles.

Dummy rounds don’t have primer or powder. You won’t be able to shoot a snake with the things

With an SAA you open the gate, not the cylinder. Secondly, what good is looking at a dummy round loaded in a gun going to tell you? Many look just like live rounds.
And far as testing for dummy rounds by dry-firing, that is standard procedure for many movie armorers.

That doesn’t tell you anything. Both live rounds and dummy rounds look just like that.

OK, take them out. Dummy rounds aren't as heavy as live rounds, and they won't have a primer.
The point is, anyone who actually knows enough to assume the position as an "armorer" would know how to keep the set safe, even from imbeciles.
