That may be the case. So why did he have any rounds at all in the weapon when he was rehearsing with it?

Even blanks can kill.  Rehearse with an empty weapon and load the blanks when they are ready to ... film.  (Almost typed "shoot" there....)

DL: Alec Baldwin to revolutionize the film industry with Spaghetti Christmas Movies. Flying to Italy to film the CGI/live-action films. notfabio Mar 23, 10:34

As long as they're NOT Spaghetti westerns where he gets to hold a gun again.. {nm} Tallwonder Mar 23, 10:46

My guess is he's trying to sneak out ahead of any possible charges being brought against him that may bar him from leaving the country. {nm} notfabio Mar 23, 10:49

It has never been an actors responsibility to check a firearm for live rounds. {nm} erhead56 Mar 23, 12:47

Almost anyone who's actually been trained in handling firearms will disagree with that. {nm} DTravel Mar 23, 12:55

Then in addition to acting, we can add weapons master, armourer and perhaps stuntman to an actors list of duties and responsibilities... erhead56 Mar 23, 14:33

All he or she has to do when the weapon is handed to them is check if a round is in the chamber and visually check if there is a bullet DTravel Mar 23, 16:58

That is not so easy with a Glock or AR-15. That's why they don't put actors in charge of props and weapons. {nm} jakemongoose Mar 23, 17:32

The gun was meant to be loaded with fake bullets, but somehow live rounds got put in; even if Alec checked, he wouldn't have known. bsbbtnh Mar 24, 07:07

Because the Cinematographer needed the view with the smoke from the blank in the run through. Pennystocks2 Mar 24, 09:32
