RIP to the victim.
Damn RIP
Fuckin ridiculous 
They could've been framing a scene.
If they are filming from a shooting angle?
True I have been on set and seen one of the guns
Not a real bullet per se, but part of the case/shell is still stuck inside the barrel.....
You shoot it again and the blank then causes said object to be released
I just briefly read what happened in the Brandon Lee shooting and it said that the accident happened due to the prop guys taking the gun powder out of real bullets and then reinserting the bullet which they did due to time/budget constraints not realizing the bullet still had enough gun powder to fire
Hopefully some shit like that didn't happen in this case.
I had no idea that was the real story!

Okay yall, i have a little bit of experience in this area.
All guns used during a movie production have to be heavily managed and controlled. The best productions have a weapons master to inspect and secure all weapons before and after their use on each scene. This is especially important if real or specialized ammunition is used for a scene.
In many cases, "blanks" use an abundance of gun powder to create a larger than life flash for the camera to pick up. Problems can arise if the wadding used to compress the gun powder or the shell casing shatters and is fired.
Unless its made of plastic, rubber or the barrel is closed or otherwise disabled, it IS NOT a prop gun.
Movie productions use REAL weapons routinely.
If Baldwin fired a shotgun, theres a whole other set of protocols to be followed.
John Eric Hexum famously died from a self inflicted gsw using a gun loaded with blanks.
Brandon Lee died from being shot by improper ammo used during a scene.
I feel horrible for the victims and their families. I feel bad for Baldwin too. But that was negligent as hell.
There's no excuse for this in 2021.

Damn you do understand this shit!
Well maybe you can shed some light on the kind of situation that would result in 2 people being shot by one gun? Was it one shot that spread because it was a shot gun or something went through one person and into the other? The two people being hit is what's troubling to me.
Shrapnel. If the casing exploded when the gun was fired, even if there was no projectile (tip of the bullet) on the casing, the casing could have exploded out.Damn you do understand this shit!
If that was the case, the Director of Photography more than likely took the most whereas the Director got shrapnel that exploded out.
Or, it was a full cased bullet and it hit the DP, hit a bone and ricocheted out and hit the director.
So what was he shooting at to hit two people who would be out of the shot anyway......
Seems like he would have hit another actor..
There is more to this coming out

Yeah it seemed to be the result of them attempting to cut corners in order to save money or stay on budget.
They even sent the weapons specialist for the film home early resulting in the weapons on set being handled much inexperienced prop guys.
Humans still exist.

Damn! Someone either gonna do time or face complete financial ruin behind this!
The armorer may face Involuntary manslaughter?

Often times actors discharge weapons at the camera. Youve seen it a million times.
Man i just read they had live rounds in the gun.Damn you do understand this shit!
Live rounds ARE used when the targets dont have live actors in range.
As you might imagine, there was no budget for any safety experts, either. So when actor Bruce Campbell was firing off his live ammunition, he was shooting at a real cabin, doing real damage. This was out in the woods, where real animals were just going about their business. To Hollywood, with lawyers and public relations to consider, this cavalier approach would have been unthinkable. But to a young director and actor with insufficient money and an unstoppable will to get the movie made, nothing mattered but the end result.
Times Movie Fight Scenes Used Real Weapons On Purpose - Looper
From live ammunition to broken bottles to a chainsaw that very nearly was a Texas massacre, these movies all used real weapons.

Damn man. Just damn.
Yeah, someone's gonna get pulled up on the carpet for negligence for sure!
Still cheaper than lawsuit settlements
Prop guns aren't supposed to be able to take real bullets..... one guy with experience with prop guns said they always stay at least twenty feet away unless they're involved in the scene

A prop is any item used on camera.
They're supposed to be altered so they won't accept real ammo.... just stating what the set guy they interviewed said... I don't work in the movie industry or with prop guns.... or any guns...
sidebar; One would've expected something would've been done to protect from another Brando Lee incident... they got more experts on CNN right now discussing it
