That's makes it even worse. They have live ammo floating around a movie set, they're using the movie prop guns for target practice, and then the icing on the cake for all this negligence is a prop gun loaded with live ammo being used in a scene and a dead woman. I can only hope that their excuse for all this was drunkenness or something. That way they can claim diminished capacity for their foolishness.
I'm thinking they were way too cheap. They wanted to invest the absolute minimum while collecting the absolute maximum.
Remember this is Baldwin, he's got a credability issue shooting both a Western and a Western with guns.
This was likely being filmed to go straight to HULU or NetFlix, make some money and be forgotten.
So based on Baldwin's general behavior in the past, I would guess he was cashing in on his name and trying to repair his brand, while being a little petty dictator on the set and in person. Thus people walking off the set due to conditions.
Now lets add to that, that Baldwin was co-producer, he must have been intimatley aware of what was going on, on set.
That he knew that there was a firearms issue, yet he picked up a pistol, took someones word that it was good, then aimed and fired it at the director...
Of course the whole thing could have insurance and when shit got shakey Someone shot the Director to stop the Movie.

Let's not forget, it wasn't that many years ago the Marine Corps had to establish the SOP that live-fire and blank-fire events could not take place on the same day.
Care to ask why?
By the way, a BFA on a M-16A2 will not stop you from killing someone if you get live 5.56 and blanks mixed up. You do not have to take my word for it, it has unfortunately been proven.
A BFA broke a leg on the range at Jackson.
It launched out as a projectiile and ricocheted on the ground like a rock on water until it hit a passerby.
It sucks...

I believe in peace, love and extremely violent weapons systems... just in case that whole peace-and-love thing doesn't work out.
