This still doesn't explain why in the world there were ever live rounds there.
The issue isn't being rushed. The issue is she had live ammunition on set.
Compare this to how many rounds are fired on any John Wick set, without a single incident. Pure incompetence
Rushing the armorer doesn’t turn a fake round into a live round. How did the live rounds get into the gun?
IDGAF ABOUT BALDWIN “RUSHING” EXPLAIN THE DAMN BULLETS!!
My question is how did real bullets get mixed in with the blanks? Did any actor really expect the guns to be loaded with real bullets? The armorer needs to explain all this.
Has ZERO to do with the armorer's criminal negligence that resulted in a death. Classic deflection. Give her the maximum plus 5 years for her audacity.
I think sometimes timid, less experienced people are hired because they can be bossed around. I think they wanted a person like Hannah because of that reason. It’s like anywhere, nobody thinks anything is going to go bad. They get complacent and are more worried about finance.
It doesnt matter that he was rushing her, there should have never been real bullets anywhere near set. She has plenty of time before the scenes to check her fake rounds. She 100% failed at her job.
Accidents are rarely the result of one thing. Hannah was incompetent And reckless. Baldwin was pushing for speed over safety. Hall Was unfamiliar with guns. And most clearly, somebody brought live ammunition onto a movie set.
I've never worked on a set with guns but I have as a Pyrotechnician and we have strict rules and turnaround times. We may plan to shoot a scene 2 or 3 times but you can be talking 30+ minutes between takes because we have to clear the range, reset and check each other's work before we can go a second time. We will not be rushing and if it takes twice as long then it takes twice as long because at the end of the day we're working with explosives and people in close proximity often with cameras limiting their feild to view.
Rushing is only a problem if there are REAL bullets mixed in with the blanks which is absolutely insane. No actor, director, or crew member would we doing anything if they thought that a real bullet was a possibility.
"The revolver he was holding fired a live round."
Of all the cowboy or war movies with wholesale gun action, this is a rare occasion of an accident/negligence. Imagine the beach scene in "Saving Private Ryan." The key is live rounds on the set. That is a "NEVER." The fact that they were target shooting the days before is serious.
The real question is: how did a live round ever get on set?
I could imagine the armorer thinking how do i tell Baldwin what to do.??????
I recall that there was reports many employees walked off the set because of systemic issues before this happened. I think theres some blame to lay for the leadership not taking that seriously and addressing issues.
On another video, they already said even if they werent real bullets, shooting directly at someone within 7 yard with a blank can still be deadly. You are never supposed to shoot at the camera unless there is a bullet proof barrier between the shooter and the camera.
I can't imagine Sylevestor Stallone accidentally mowing down 100 people with a machine gun because he told people to hurry while filming Rambo. The speed of filming wasn't the problem. It was having live ammunition on the set that was the problem. Makes no sense why there would even be the possibility of a mix up of live rounds and blanks in the first place when live rounds shouldn't ever be present on the set to begin with.
I love how the armorer dyed her hair back to one color for the trial so as to seem more conservative and not so unstable or unwell lol.
