I've never seen a gun just go off sitting there. He pulled the trigger.

[Grokmaster]

I've never seen a gun just go off sitting there. He pulled the trigger.

Not without being dropped or something....

[T. A. Gardner]

Maybe it's because Baldwin doesn't know the difference...

What a lying dumbass. It was a single action six gun. You cannot accidentally pull the trigger to fire the gun. It takes two deli=berate actions. One is cocking the hammer back. The other is pulling the trigger. Without those two actions, the gun will not and cannot fire.

Stephanopoulos illustrated what a dumbass he is by nodding his head.

[T. A. Gardner]

And, the gun must be fully cocked. It cannot be half-cocked, or have the hammer down on the cylinder. That takes a deliberate action by someone.

[Truth Detector]

I've never seen a gun just go off sitting there. He pulled the trigger.

Because this was a single action pistol. It requires TWO distinct actions. Cocking the hammer back and pulling the trigger. It takes a very deliberate act to fire such a weapon. Baldwin, as is with most dishonest leftist assholes, is a liar and a dumbass.

The sad part is that it is very easy to identify what is loaded in the gun by simple examination.

Not without being dropped or something....

Even if dropped in the cocked position, it is extremely unlikely this gun would go off.

[Damocles]

Even if dropped in the cocked position, it is extremely unlikely this gun would go off.

It would depend on whether someone messed with the pull weight of the gun. Making the trigger easy to pull can also make it more dangerous. Though it has never been said that he dropped the pistol, only a current claim that the danged thing just "went off" without him pulling the trigger, which is total nonsense. It's a gun that requires action by the handler to make it fire. And he knows that folks who understand guns simply do not believe him.

Again, it doesn't matter what the trigger pull weight is. It takes TWO distinct actions to fire such a gun. Forst, the hammer must be cocked back. THEN, the trigger can be pulled. Dropping a gun does not make the trigger pull.

The sad irony and reality is that such guns are easy to identify if loaded and with what? See my pictures.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

It's so nice to see that so many of you have examined the gun and know exactly what condition it was in.

Can you tell us whether it had a fanning hammer or a thumbing hammer on it?
What was the pull weight for the trigger?


Frankly, you are all speculating. We don't know the condition of the gun, which was a prop gun, or how or if it had been modified for use on the set.

The only thing we know for sure is that whoever handed that gun to him is an idiot and shouldn't be allowed on a set ever again once they get out of jail.

[Nordberg]

It does not seem logical that the trigger was pulled. I will keep that in mind as I wait for more information to come out.

[T. A. Gardner]

This is one variant of the .45 wad cutter round.



This is one variant of the .45 blank round.



The two can look very similar, but someone who's supposedly familiar with ammunition and an "expert" on such things should be able to instantly tell the difference on inspection of the rounds. For movies, I understand they also load phony rounds that have a BB inside that makes the round rattle when shaken. These are used for shots where an actual loaded round is unnecessary such as the one Baldwin was doing. These prop rounds can also be used for things like bandoleers and such where the appearance of live rounds is necessary but their actually being live is unnecessary.

The Sheriff in charge of the investigation knows, and has proclaimed Baldwins claims BS.

“Guns don’t just go off, so whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands.”

Rust’ Producers’ Prior Film Raised Red Flags

In November 2019, a crew of about 100 assembled in the small town of Thomasville, Georgia, to shoot The Tiger Rising, based on Kate DiCamillo’s 2001 children’s book about a 12-year-old boy who finds a caged tiger in the woods behind the motel where he lives with his father.

With a budget of $10 million and Dennis Quaid and Queen Latifah in starring roles, the independent film undoubtedly seemed like an appealing gig. But The Tiger Rising turned into an ordeal of broken promises, overdue bills and some union members still owed benefits nearly two years after the cameras stopped rolling. According to IMDb, four of the producers or executive producers on the project — Ryan Donnell Smith, Allen Cheney, Emily Hunter Salveson and Ryan Winterstern — would later be credited on Alec Baldwin’s Rust.

The Hollywood Reporter has obtained correspondence and documents that provide a window into the cascading problems that plagued the still-unreleased Tiger Rising — troubles that foreshadowed issues on subsequent productions involving these individuals. The material also reveals the unchecked nature of low-budget filmmaking, even when the major unions are involved. It is an area that has attracted an array of players, some of whom appear to be lured by federal and state tax credits that are offered up regardless of whether the films they make are ever distributed.

The bitterness of the experience on The Tiger Rising was encapsulated in an anonymous email sent to Smith and other key players on the project in February 2020, when the film was in postproduction. “It is absolutely disgusting how you are treating the entire Tiger Rising crew,” it read. “Not paying our vendors, not paying into our health and pension [plans]. There are a ton of crew who needed this show’s hours to keep their health insurance, and now do not have health insurance. … We will never forget this. We busted our asses to get this film done, and this is how you treat us.”

These Hollywood fucks are the people whom keep lecturing us on how we should live, and yet look at how they behave.
