Sorry, they were ALL real guns. They had a bunch of period pieces, mostly replicas but they were real. The armorer's job was to ensure the ones used on set ONLY had blanks. It turned out that she was using them for target practice (ie, fun and games) off set.

I will admit, even a replica Colt Dragoon is a hell of a lot of fun to shoot. But dang, girl, you only had ONE job!

Maybe that is why the crew walked out since they did not have any blank guns? They were cutting corners by having real ones and whose guns were they? Were they Baldwin’s since he was the producer?

Hollywierd has some splainin to do.

I would think there would be a strict protocol about emptying any forearm and having it double checked by a second individual before it is brought anywhere near a set where blanks are used.

Also, any actor with a scintilla of intelligence would inspect the firearm personally before pointing it at anything or touching the trigger.
