BREAKING UPDATE: Gun Alec Baldwin Fired on the Movie Set Contained 'Live Round,' Prop Masters Union Says
Authorities say Baldwin killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography, and injured 48-year-old director Joel Souza when he fired a prop gun on the set of “Rust,” a Western film he was filming in New Mexico on Thursday.

UPDATE: According to a prop masters union spokesperson, the gun that shot and killed a cinematographer and injured a director on the set of Alec Baldwin’s film Rust contained a live bullet.

Hasn't this happened before with prop guns?

Seriously, can't a prop gun be designed that simply doesn't accept real ammo?

BS.

It's the prop master's and possibly the production firearms expert's responsibility. The actor doesn't have to check anything.

 Quoting: Trio


That's what I've been wondering.

Was he horsing around?

Were they planning/rehearsing a scene?

If he was pointing the gun at people and pulling the trigger
for fun, that'd make the situation much worse. Though, of
course, it shouldn't have fired a bullet in the
first place regardless.

How is it possible the two most important people on set get shot?

ONE BULLET or TWO?

Was there a rage event on set?

Wouldn't it be better if ALL guns were designed so that they don't accept ammo?

That way accidents wouldn't happen outside movie sets, either.

Alec is a pos of the highest order but this definitely wasn't his fault and it honestly sounds like a setup. There's no reason, whatsoever, for a prop gun to be loaded with live ammo. No reason

it was .44 cal cowboy style pistol. I'm willing to bet it was a hip action shot towards the camera. Went through the cinematographers thorax and then lodged into the directors spine. There may have been a prior scene where live rounds were used to shoot at bottles or some other static target.

The current story is that Baldwin shot through the director's collarbone and into the abdomen of the director of photography who was presumably standing behind the squatting or sitting director.

Are prop guns designed to not hold a live round, only blanks? I thought in a prop gun the chamber is smaller to only accept a blank. Hence a prop gun.

I once used a prop gun in a film and all the chambers were blocked. It did not fire blanks. Even with that the prop master kept it under lock and key and it only came out for the scene it was used in.

what, you think some gripper dude grabbed his keys and
shoved them into his pocket along with that live round
next to them on the table.

And then it fell out of his pocket on the set, somebody
picked up and put it in the gun?

seriously?

how the FUCK do you think it got there "accidentally"?

He was screwing the director of photography, she was threatening to tell Hilaria, he handled it Baldwin Style.
The other guy who go hit was just collateral damage.
