I'd like to know the bottom line. HOW that live bullet got in there in the first place. Who, exactly, put it in there? Were all 6 bullets live, or just that one? Maybe a disgruntled employee is in the picture - 7 people walked off the set that morning. If all 6 bullets were live, fingerprints should be on them. SURELY the investigators checked everything for prints....?

Where did the ammo come from, anyway? Not many people have a supply of .45 Long Colt sitting around. And remember this is in California, where you do a background check to buy ammo.

As far as Baldwin checking the gun, that sort of makes sense, but at the same time, making a movie like this may involve many retakes of various scenes, or many scenes involving a gun. Is the actor expected to empty the gun and examine the ammo EVERY SINGLE time it's used in a scene? Look at the John Wick movies; is Keanu supposed to work all the bullets out of that semi-auto magazine, check the ammo, and reload it, every time he fires it? I doubt it. If he did, he'd spend all day unloading/reloading magazines.

But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, seems like there's an awful lot of unanswered questions in this situation.

Could have been deliberate. Somebody could push a real bullet down deep into a blank so it wouldn't show at the case mouth. Then put it in a box of blanks, and eventually it'd be fired during a film shoot. Or maybe some idiot sneaked a live round into the gun when nobody was looking. Blanks, especially handgun ammo, look VERY different from real rounds. Hard to believe somebody didn't see it when the gun was being loaded.

Unbelievable that they don't have some protocol for checking ammo before a shooting acene. It would only take a couple of seconds, a quick peek. These people are too stupid, I guess.
