I saw this yesterday and was wondering why he would have the gun pointed at anybody that is not in the movie. I’m waiting to see what the *investigation* finds out. I’m not a fan of this guy so when I see him out in the parking lot showing the whole world how upset he is my first thought is he’s playing a role to diminish his liability. To this group of people guns are the reason for everything bad in the world. If this is the case, why was he so careless when he shot these individuals? Time will tell.
Lot of speculation but not much to go on. Nothing but common sense… think about it for a minute.
They need to find out who introduced live rounds into the set.
As far as where he was pointing the gun, he was probably pointing and shooting where he was directed to do so. As in, by the director. So they could get the camera angles they wanted? Think about it. The only reason they put a gun in his hand and wanted him to shoot is to get footage of him shooting the gun. Not for any effect downrange or anything else. Assuming the gun was harmless, anyone involved may have positioned themselves in the line of fire when they weren’t expecting any live fire, only flash and report.
The whole reason for using a prop is so they don’t have to worry about where the gun is pointing. The safety measures involved are in making certain the prop gun is harmless (Of course a blank gun can kill you if discharged with the muzzle against your head). They use props so they can knowingly present the gun in an unsafe manner to film the scene. Imagine a sword fighting scene. If they accidentally used an authentic katana there would be blood, but a couple of prop swords can be banged together and slapped across a torso for the scene and no injury, but you couldn’t do that with a
sharp edged blade.
Somehow live ammo was introduced into whatever firearm he was using. I’m assuming they use real firearms loaded with blanks for realism. Maybe they need to reevaluate their use of these weapons and have blank only firing props, like the 8mm blank pistols and such that have nearly identical actions and do everything but spit projectiles.

[FONT="]Wonder if they had the barrel plugged in an attempt to make the gun never able to fire live rounds. Plug came loose and acted like a bullet? Else if someone brought live ammunition to the set and that is the person who should be charged not the actor who pulled the trigger.

There was a live round in the gun. Probably 45 Long Colt. That will have pass through. Someone is going to jail with this.

Totally agree. Heard this on the way home from work late last night. First though was why was he pointing a gun and pulling the trigger at anybody the first place. Prop or no prop, it just common sense!
By him shooting the film makers, its a strong indication that he was horse playing!. Just stupid on Balwin's part. Hope they arrest him for being careless!

Horrible situation no matter what the cause was. Either way a Hollywood leftist will not be held accountable even if he was horsing around. I’m hoping the local authorities will not be compromised while investigating this event. I would bet they will have calls coming from Pennsylvania Avenue regarding the investigation.
Possibly, but also he might have been "shooting" at the camera and they were in the line of fire near it.
After the Brandon Lee accidental movie shooting all guns in films are required to be permanently altered to where it is impossible to fire live ammo. So someone must’ve snuck a gun on set.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Watch any shooter flick and see how many times a gun is pointing at another actor or the camera when it goes off. Better yet, try to
find one with no such scene.
Most times the director is very near the camera watching the action.

Exactly. Someone handed him a "hot gun" which is not supposed to happen. Maybe they use Live ammo for some scenes but that seems awfully dangerous to have on set.
Why would they use live ammo, in any case, on an open set?
But Balwin wasn't pointed the gun at any actors. He was pointed at the directors.
