Because the Cinematographer needed the view with the smoke from the blank in the run through.

Haven't you ever been on a movie set? Maybe you should work on a few dozen films. You just don't get it. An actor is handed a firearm and they pull the trigger. That's the end of their job requirement, and in some rare cases their only knowledge of a firearm. That's why movie credits are so long. The cast is only a small part of what it takes to make a good movie. Rust was not a good movie.

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

That may be the case. So why did he have any rounds at all in the weapon when he was rehearsing with it? DTravel Mar 24, 07:26
