This image conveys just how hosed her practices were on the set.

-The marked round with the nickel primer is the live round. It's amazingly easy to spot and should have been checked just because it obviously doesn't belong.

-Dummies with indented primers and ones with smooth un-indented primers are mixed up. Only indented primer dummies should be loaded into guns. The cosmetic dummy flat primer rounds should never be in a gun because they are indistinguishable visually from live rounds.

-I can't find exact testimony but set rumor is that she would load that tray and rattle the entire thing to check for blanks. No one is going to hear the one silent live round out of all the other rattling ones.

Also we now have Dave Halls testimony from just before the killing. He's the Assistant Director who plead guilty for not checking the gun that was handed off.

-Gutierrez the armorer brought the gun unloaded to the church and Halls verified that it was an unloaded "cold gun".
-Gutierrez then loaded the gun after she had an unheard conversation with Baldwin.
-Gutierrez went back the Halls and rotated the cylinder a few times so Halls could check for depressed primers but he didn't count so he doesn't know how many he actually inspected.
-Halls declared it good and Gutierrez handed the gun to Baldwin

There was no reason for the gun to be loaded with dummies for a practice take. It will be interesting what comes out on why she or Baldwin decided to load the gun.

I'm not sure that making hiring stipulations about a potential coworker that are discarded and deciding to not work with people you don't trust is how that works

They could have used solid dummy rounds not made from real brass and primers for gods sake.

he made the mistake of posting in GBS and regrets it because we didn't pull out our guns and try to gently caress them while he was prattling on about a bunch of stupid 'I am a gun expert' poo poo in a thread about making fun of Alec Baldwin in a forum where nobody takes anything seriously

Contrast that to this example of an actually competent person showing how they create and handle dangerous props on a film set

They took more effort to make a fanny pack safe for the performers than the Rust armorer did for an actual gun

I'm sure the director of 1986's Three Amigos would never allow such unsafe practices on his film sets!

Songbearer posted:

There was no way to stop Alec Baldwin during this tragedy. Even if you ran into his path, wrestled the gun out of his hands and knocked him to the ground, he would handspring away and deploy a second bigger gun he was concealing down his strangely bulging sleeve and curve the bullets to hit the actor, the key grip, the best boy, the worst girl and the runners all at once before maniacally Yosemite Samming away in a hailstorm of firepower

Even after his departure when the medical response staff have gone to check the pulse and put their ear to the deceased's chest the chaos won't stop as their strangely twitching bodies will erupt into a hail of new and renewed gunfire as the live rounds nestling inside their habitat grow furious at the commotion and burst free, whizzing in every direction in a crimson frenzy, tiny Alec faces where there should be the smooth curve of a bullet

Then comes the sound of thousands of high velocity bees shattering everything in their path before sequestering themselves away in the snug chambers of the prancing Alec's 10ft tall by 6ft wide comically ridiculous two thousand chambered revolver, which he'll then blow the smokestack of gunsmoke off the end of the barrel before tucking it away in a tiny holster

Three Amigos is wall to wall poultry in peril. Somebody decided every scene needed cickens narrowly avoiding getting stomped by horses.

What if instead of real bullets they use fake ones did anyone bring up that salient point yet?

Rad-daddio posted:

i read an old Popular Mechanics article that gave a tutorial on how to make wax bullets so you could do target practice in your suburban basement without angering the neighbors.

...I don't think it was the bullets that were making them mad, so much as the constant sound of gunfire.

The filing also notes that Gutierrez-Reed has another felony charge pending for allegedly hiding a firearm from security at a New Mexico bar and sneaking it into the venue. The filing says, “Upon successfully circumventing the security at the bar she went into the restroom and made a selfie video stating ‘They checked my purse but they didn’t cheek my butt cheeks! Wah, wah, wah.’”

quote:

Prosecutors said they offered Baldwin a “very favorable plea agreement,” similar to what David Halls got, but rescinded the offer after learning that Baldwin planned to accept the deal and create a documentary with interviews from case witnesses.
