It was in between takes. No script. He was just going over the scene in his head and shot someone. He definitely shouldn’t have fired then. And, whether he thought it was loaded or not, pointing a gun at people is threatening and shouldn’t have been done. It’s total bullshit they dropped the charges against him.
The armorer definitely should have some fault, but no one would have been shot if Alec Baldwin hadn’t pointed the gun at them. He was directing the barrel in the location of people. He had his finger on the trigger.
I kind of get that, but if he hadn’t pulled the trigger between takes, then when it came to actually filming the take, the real bullet would’ve just been shot then, right?
I understand it’s a bit weird to fire in between takes but it would’ve been fired one way or another, unless I’m misunderstanding something about the situation

Oh I didn’t know they used clear lanes for blanks and dummy guns for “firing” at actors. Thanks for informing me
