Alec Baldwin Accidentally Kills Cinematographer on Set of New Movie (1 Viewer)

I have none of those.

Yeah, I haven’t even heard of that company..

What it sounds like happened was that they were trying to figure out the camera angle, so he was pulling the hammer back while the director was looking down the line the camera would have. When they finally figured out the right angle, they told him everything was good and he released the hammer. It wasn’t fully cocked, so it slammed into the round and fired it.

Most plausible “I didn’t pull the trigger” hypothesis I’ve read.

So basically it's being argued whether guns kill people or people kill people? Took a few weeks and an odd route but isn't that the final destination of every gun debate?

People with guns kill people.

There, we can all agree.

The EE board can’t be completely non-political. Try as they might, it’s impossible.

That should be easy enough to test. I'm sure they have the weapon and can cork it then see if they can get it to fire with vigorous movement.

My first revolver was a Redhawk and it had been gunsmith worked so well that double action was barely noticeable from single action trigger pull. It wasn't super light, but I believe it's possible to work the weapon so that extremely light pressure can cause it to fire.

I was just showing Carv how my trigger pull is light, you know.

Well, some people with guns kill people.

There is a half cork position that is supposed to prevent the hammer from closing without a trigger pull. Maybe that malfunctioned?

 

[Yatman]

yes, single-action revolvers have a half-cork hammer position, which blocks the trigger mechanism but releases the cylinder so it can be rotated for un/loading

the hammer must be fully cocked to lock the cylinder in alignment with the barrel; in this condition and only this condition, the gun is ready to fire with a trigger pull

to "not shoot", the trigger must be pulled while the hammer is slowly lowered into half or uncocked position

my guess is his thumb slipped off the hammer and the gun discharged

unless the gun was defective or modified, that trigger was pulled

Dirty little secret is that there’s no such thing as ‘non-political’

 

[Semper]

Yeah, I haven’t even heard of that compan

I miss the politics board. Don't care for the format of the other board.

True dat

Yeah, I’ve withheld judgment for long enough to make a judgement. The politics board was a good place, the replacement not so much.

Baldwin says he never pulled the trigger. Experts are skeptical.
