Lots of speculation about Alec Baldwin's 'accident' on set. Yeah, he's a genuine (redacted), and he shouldn't be pointing a gun at a cinematographer and pulling the trigger. We'll dispense with that up front.
The chattering classes have offered all sorts of nonsense about debris left in the barrel from a previous blank round being propelled by a following blank. Now Stagger Lee's .44 may have gone thru Billy and broke the bartender's glass, but blank wadding fatally penetrating one person and wounding another sounds unlikely.
Are live rounds even permitted on set? Will 'prop' guns accept live rounds? Since this was a Western, therefore likely a revolver.
Anyway, thot's? Guys here know a whole lot more than the folks on TV.
