I find it very perplexing that in an interview, Baldwin said he didn't know that a live round was even fired. Hmmm?
He described the loud sound of the shot, and said that the director screamed loudly (having been shot after the bullet passed through Halyna).
I don't own a firearm, let alone a large caliber pistol, but I would certainly think that he must've felt the kick of the gun when it fired.
He has been in many, many films when guns are "fired", and I would think that he, and everyone else, instinctively knew that something highly unusual had just happened.
I certainly hope that the investigation will uncover how a live round got onto the set, and into that gun.
Very, very unfortunate, and tragic, that a mistake like this can occur within what should be a very tightly controlled scene, handled by supposed professionals.
Also- thanks for the great step-by-step description of firearm mechanics, Duke.
