i think guns and stunts should be allowed and should be tightly overseen by qualified union labor under strict regulation.
but perhaps all these regulations mean movie sets have become too safe and have allowed snowflake millennials to take a lackadaisical approach to safety!

maybe instead studios should come equipped with multiple fully loaded and poorly maintained firearms to keep people on their toes!

have you thought about that!

Fuck you say?
Alec Baldwin, grey haired and tired eyed, finally breaks. Tears roll down his cheeks as his last emotional barrier falls and like a dam breaking his whole world comes crashing down. He is done with screenplays, the movie industry, people. After everything that has happened, what is left for him?

He looks across the field he is sitting in, sky perpetually red from the fires that burn all around him. He has lost track of time and does not recall the last time he ate, let alone slept. In the distance a crumbling city decays, its inhabitants dead. Each and every single one of them, by his hand and his hand alone.

The flies came and thus did maggots. No matter how many of those he killed, it was not the same. It was too easy. No deception or sleight of hand was needed to shoot those things. His Wile E. Coyote style antics provoked no mirth when played against emotionless insects. He watched them breed and eat and fight over the corpses, a new world starting in place of the old one.

It was time to admit that his acting career... was finally over.

It's not a misfire kinda thing, it's that rapidly drawing guns from holsters can easily lead to your finger or part of the holster pulling the trigger. Especially for old style guns without a trigger guard. It's a great way to shoot yourself in the foot/leg.

Hell of a thing that they kept doing it after the first ND - I can't tell from the wording but it may be suggesting that was also a live round fired on set?

What reports have you seen of the gun going off by itself? The only incident I've seen detailed is when the stunt double was handling it and set it off. They were told it was a cold gun as well and likely did not take care to not interact with the trigger.

That's not how guns work. First off, misfiring generally means a gun fails to fire - which is the most common failure state with guns. Mechanical failure actually firing a bullet, however, is pretty drat rare because it requires striking the back end of a cartridge really hard right on the bit that sets it off - and the only thing in a position to do that is the firing mechanism which is imparted with force (initially, at least) by pulling the trigger of the gun. That sort of failure requires something like a free floating firing pin combined with a sharp impact to slam it home, a double action mechanism capable of storing energy (think cocking a trigger) that is so poorly designed that it releases its stored energy when shaken/bumped/whatever (Taurus!), or an automatic mechanism where it starts firing normally but fails to STOP firing until it runs out of ammo (the firing of the gun is providing the force needed to work the mechanism and fire the next round). In 99.99% of cases where "the gun just went off" somebody accidentally pulled or snagged the trigger, then regretted it.

With a single action revolver like they're describing, though, you have a pretty simple trigger mechanism that pulls a hammer back then releases it to strike the back of a cartridge really hard. You can't cock the hammer or otherwise store energy in the firing mechanism - every shot requires pulling the trigger or the hammer. The hammer itself is also the same part striking the cartridge so no need to worry about a firing pin bumping around in there. Firing the gun does not work this firing mechanism in any way, so it can't go full auto. Thus no hammer pulling back = no bang.

Don't be dumb. This was being filmed an hour away from Albuquerque. Obviously it was Walter White. The cops were getting too close Jesse and Walter snuck onto the set and put real bullets into the cold guns to create a distraction.

‘Rust’ producers wrap set for shooting investigation, calling it a ‘pause’

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-24/rust-producers-shut-down-production-during-investigation

Producers of Alec Baldwin’s “Rust” have announced that they are going to “pause” the film production as law enforcement investigates the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

“As we go through this crisis, we have made the decision to wrap the set at least until the investigations are complete,” the producers said in an email to crew members Sunday night.

“Although our hearts are broken, and it is hard to see beyond the horizon, this is, at the moment, a pause rather than an end. The spirit that brought us all to this special place remains,” the producers said.

Production already had been halted on the set at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe since Thursday afternoon, when Baldwin, an actor and producer of the film, accidentally shot Hutchins with a prop gun while rehearsing a shoot-out scene in a wooden church. The production was on the 12th day of a 21-day film shoot.

We paused mining while we were looking for Tommy's legs down the shaft, but don't worry, the spirit that brings us all to this special place remains. In the mean time, although our hearts are broken, we are expecting you to pull double duty since coal won't mine itself. -Some rear end in a top hat

Mark it zero!
Is there a single unambiguous word to describe a complete, unspent cartridge or round? So including the primer, gunpowder, and bullet, all nicely encased in, well, the casing?

(I would also be ok with a combination of two words. Anything short of a full sentence or description really.)

edit: and is it known yet if it was this that was shot? or if it was more a Brandon Lee type of thing where something was left in the barrel?
