We do know that there had been problems with the gun, which invites the question of why it wasn't replaced.

I don't think there was anything mechanically wrong with the gun. The problem was with the people handling it.

There are some cases, in a handful of cheap modern pistols and antique revolvers. Modern revolvers and reproductions of antiques absolutely do not fire themselves and Alex is 1,000% in denial.

The only modern firearm known to fire itself is the Remington '700' rifle, and even that requires you to actuate the safety.

I believe him that he didn't deliberately pull the trigger, and probably has no memory of the trigger being pulled. But 99% chance that it was.

and how are they supposed to film the shootout scene in heat where val kilmer unloads and then reloads with breathtaking aplomb if you can’t be pointing guns at folks on set, come on people, get a freakin clue here

Surely America, gun culture capital of the world, is up to the task of inventing fake guns.

There was no reason for the gun to be loaded with dummies for a practice take.

Good thing it wasn’t then I guess?

I meant it wasn’t loaded with dummies.

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 going to need a lot of post-it notes.
