The 24-year-old head armorer of Alec Baldwin's movie 'Rust' told a podcast she 'almost didn't take' her last job because she wasn't sure if she was 'ready'

We still don't have all the details. I assume the gun was in a lock box with Reed having a key, but who else? Who took it out with or without Reed and Baldwin knowing. Yes, Baldwin will be somewhat responsible as the boss who set the rules. How much he know and overlook would determine his liabilities. I think 64 millions sound right.

Dummy rounds look real - that is the whole idea. Used when the camera can see the rounds from some angle.

Yeah I just came back here to correct that because I just realized she was refering to the Lee case.

Although the gun in this case was used with real bullets when the crew was playing with it after hours, and they stored real ammo near the blanks.

Prop 'ordnance' are not weapons. Decidedly so. Hell they do not even qualify for the 'ordnance' moniker and any weapon would.

Let's see, it fires bullets and kills people. Yeah, that's a weapon. Duh!

LOL! DecayedBrainMatter just confirmed her total, f****ng ignorance AFTER the facts PROVE that:

  1. A person died (Duh!).
  2. That person died from a GUN SHOT.
  3. The person that fired that gun was The Jerk Baldwin. DecayedBrainMatter is swimming, not just upstream, but up the F****NG NIAGRA FALLS!!

And I "assume" that you don't know s*it. By all reports the gun not only WASN'T in a "lock box," but it was taken out by the crew for target practice. This whole operation smells worse than the LA sewage treatment center.

Such pathetic ignorance I have never seen before. It's NOT called a "wheel," but a cylinder. The places the rounds go are called "chambers."

ALWAYS have the gun pointed away from you AND everyone else. Period. To check if the barrel of a revolver is clear you MUST open the cylinder to see down the barrel from the rear.

Blanks in the cylinder will look very similar, if not identical, to live rounds - the only way to check them is to empty them out of the cylinder for a visual inspection.

** FYI asshole - I have consistently used the * correct* terms.
** FFS imbecile - how many times do you need to be told that claim is 100% WRONG!!

A " blank" has no metal projectile at all. Very, very visible !!!

If you are picking nits about the wheel, the old western revolvers do not have cylinders that swing out. They are fixed in place and to load/unload them there is a loading gate on the side that is used. No way to look down the barrel from the rear.

NO! You stupid f*ck! A "weapon" is a purpose built device.

A PROP is a purpose built device.

One is not the other.

Having functional weapons and live rounds on the set of a film making session is a trademark of Ukraine film making practice. She may have wanted the "realism" and got more than she thought she would get.

============================== >

** Utter total GARBAGE !!!

The term "prop" is shorthand for " property " . It refers to any non fixed item on a set. Nearly all of them are normal manufactured items.

** As if you have any f****ng idea.
** Criminally insane, made up drivel.

A simple Google search of "wheel gun" reveals 128,000.000 hits, the first page of which blow your stupid s*it mumblings right out of the water.

They have only been called that from the get go.

** ???? That 128,000 or are the zeros after the decimal important?

Anyhow, nearly all the hits are for a power tool with that name.

** Massive, stupid fallacy. Wheel gun is a rare slang term for a revolver.

The name "cylinder" for the cartridge holder is ab initio. Wot a f****ng LIAR you are.

...... Phil

There is a type of firearm called a wheellock which is precursor to the flintlock. I don't think that was part of this accident.

==============================

** What disgusting fake quote.

No. NOT "rare slang" you retarded f*ck.

Common use among industries where handguns are used, such as law enforcement.

It was also used in a slightly derogative way by those LEOs whom were the early adopters of semi-automatic firearms once they were allowed, as they would rib the officers that had yet to change or were not going to.

Again, you stupid f*ck, you know absofuckinglutely NOTHING about it.
