@@kennethlong2280 I’ve handled weapons on sets for thirty-five years and the vast majority of them were real guns. The only time we used fake replicas on set was for background actors who didn’t need to fire a weapon on camera. As I see it the main issues are unqualified people handling guns and the lack of safety training. Anyone who touches the weapons has a responsibility to make sure they are safe. The only people who should ever touch the weapons are the armorer, the prop master and prop assistants, and the actors/ stunt people. All guns, at all times should be handled as if they are real and loaded until proven otherwise. As I said, the vast majority of weapons on sets are real; there are some that have had baffles put in the barrels in order to create enough back pressure to chamber the next round. As far as being NUTS; if being nuts means never having anyone hurt by one of my prop weapons in three decades because I followed strict safety rules, than I’m as nuts as it gets.

@@kennethlong2280 I understand what you're saying, especially with the technology we have today it's easy to make a toy gun look authentic enough for the movies there is no need for real guns on sets anymore. But in saying that many movie sets have used real guns before and through their own safety measures no one was hurt. This is not an argument for or against, it's a plea to those who wish to use real guns apply the correct safety measures every other movie that has used real guns without any fatalities used. The simple fact of the matter is that an incredible lack of gun safety was missing on that set. Why? We could argue about if they only used toys, it would never happen, but as was said before countless movies have been made with real guns without fatalities. At the end of the day those in charge choose real guns but failed to ensure proper safety measures were being used, the end result being the loss of lives.

Hi John, I just gotta say,, "Book'em Dano!". LOL...Thank you for an interesting and candid video involving firearm functionality, etiquette, and responsible firearm ownership. As an owner of a true 1873 Colt Single Action Army (thank you Great Grand-Dad Charlee) and some earlier Italian Made Replicas, which used the original patented design, got me to thinking about this issue. "There's gonna be a hang'n!". These models had "fixed" firing pins, held in place with the "firing pin rivet". Both original patented and replica actions operate with the pulling back of a serrated hammer with a "fixed in-place" firing pin; the hammer's 1st click position WAS the safety feature "of the day", preventing the firing pin from resting on a live cylinder, but only if the handler of the gun utilized this feature. From the 2nd click position, the loading gate is operable; if you were to load six rounds, you'd end up resting the firing pin on the primer of one cartridge in the cylinder, if the hammer did not rest in the 1st click/safety position. Danger, Danger Mr. Ranger there, for all the city slickers. And it wouldn't have been so uncommon for a careless hand or gun owner to somehow drop, bump, smack or strike the hammer somehow, resulting in an accidental discharge. Instead of being stupid is as stupid does, and with the hammer in the 2nd position, with the loading gate open, is the practice of loading 1 cylinder, skip the 2nd cylinder, then load the rest of 4 more, close the loading gate, then complete the cocking action from the 1/2 cocked position, still readily holding the hammer, as the cylinder rotates to the empty one you skipped and slowly depress the trigger, which allows for the gunman to gently release the hammer, resulting in the firing pin at rest on the empty cylinder that was skipped over, during the loading process. The Spring loaded firing pins of today were more recently introduced and designed as an additional safety feature, preventing accidental discharges of the firearm without the hammer being fully cocked, in the 4th click position. The reason for this updated feature is that it didn't take much at all to discharge a cartridge, if the hammer had the firing pin resting on a live chamber. Getting bumped or snagged we will say, while riding, sitting in a chair, in a saloon brawl or the snagging of the hammer on a piece of clothing or a shrub, as you rode by on your horse was and is probable, but still, not very likely. If a single action firearm with a fixed firing pin is partially cocked, right up to the point "before" the hammer engages the 1st click of 4, and/or the "safety" position, and the hammer is suddenly released on a loaded cylinder, there most certainly is enough spring tension on the hammer, that when released or flicked in such a way along with having a fixed/riveted firing pin, a cartridge can, most likely would not, but there is an undeniable risk of a discharge. Another related feature of these Single Action Colts is the off-set of the trigger, as to its position within the trigger guard. The trigger location favors the left side of guard well in such a way, that a left-handed shooter wearing gloves or with fat fingers could unknowingly/accidentally depress the trigger with the fat of the forward left index finger, while gripping around the guns guard and cocking it using the thumb. The same type of firing could be induced when fanning the gun, but the depression of the trigger in fanning cannot ever be seen as unintentional. Lastly, even with a worn or broken hammer spring/sear, this model firearm doesn't usually discharge without depression of the trigger. Anyway, I wanted to share my experience with and thoughts about the patented Colt 1873 Single Action Revolver and the Replicas of yester-year and today. At the very least, I call "Manslaughter". Merry Christmas and I wish you a great upcoming year in 2022. Respectfully, JP
@chucksneed54055 ай бұрын
Most modern SAAs today are called "three click" actions. I have never been 100% sure why the action should change because of the receding pin. Certainly there was some fear of liability that made them switch to the receding pin though but I've never had a direct answer why the three clicks instead of four. The last one I bought from Uberti came with a three-click receding pin so I purchased an aftermarket hammer/trigger/latch kit that comes with a fixed pin and a classic four-click action. Also on classic four-click actions if you watch and listen very closely there is actually a "fifth" click at the very top of the action again idk why. I think it is the trigger sear falling into the notch and then pressing upward against it, I don't really know. At any rate, none of this should impact the gun going off unless it was dropped or something. The only way the gun could fire without pulling the trigger is if the notch on the hammer or the trigger latch literally broke off in that exact moment he was holding it. Which is not technically impossible in my opinion but so unlikely as to be basically impossible.

What Baldwin is going to go for is a defective product angle, and his narrative the other day was coached by his lawyers. And actually what he's going to say is feasible, if you remember from day one it was established that he was practicing quick draws, if his finger was off the trigger and the pistol had a defective trigger mechanism than it is feasible that it could have happened the way he said, if he drew it and "fanned" the trigger, or cocked it any other style associated with a quick draw, expecting it to stay cocked then it could very well have gone off, a defective trigger mechanism could even bypass the half cock safety feature of an exposed hammer type firearm like a single action revolver or even a lever action rifle. Now as we all know that's not what happened which brings me to the next point, and that has to do with everyone through all the comments sections of all these videos addressing this tragedy from day one, the subject of firearms safety, everyone keeps ragging on Baldwin as if he was a shooter at a range or even handling a firearm at home, those rules don't apply here, this is a Hollywood movie set and the people handling these firearms are not shooters, collectors or someone at the range, they're actors, there's armorers on these sets that are responsible for these firearms and their safety, ie there never should have been live ammo on the set much less in a firearm that was handed to an actor who was assured it was safe, ie a "cold gun". Actor's are not by their nature people who are into firearms, that's exactly why they have people to coach them on how to handle them in a realistic fashion, and sitting around on a movie set practicing quick draws is something that's even expected of an actor so they give a realistic performance, just the other night I watched a Gregory Peck movie where the premise is he's the fastest gun in the west and has a reputation that causes him problems everywhere he goes from some young punks always wanted to challenge him, you can bet that in between takes Mr Peck was sitting around practicing quick draws for the sake of not looking stupid on screen, you can even bet John Wayne did it in between takes on the movies he starred in. As far as checking to see if it's loaded that's also a mute point, once again we're not at the range or at home, this is a movie set and inert "dummy" bullets are loaded in movie guns all the time for the sake of realism, the same exact people who are ragging on Baldwin for not checking to see if it was loaded are the same people that would rag all over the movie for someone brandishing a revolver that is obviously unloaded, once again that's why these armorers are on these movie sets, one of their responsibilities is to make sure that the ammo in a firearm is inert dummy ammo and not live ammunition, how exactly would the actor know the difference? Which brings things full circle here, Baldwin has to play the defective product angle, because even though it's not his responsibility as an actor to make sure that firearm was safe but it was his responsibility as a producer to make sure it was a safe movie set via having hired a competent armorer to make 100% sure that when a firearm is placed in an actors hand and they're told it's a "cold gun" (meaning it's safe) that it is indeed safe. Now I want to be clear on something, I'm in no way shape or form an Alec Baldwin fan, the fact is I can't stand him, nor am I defending him but I'm just being realistic about how things are run on a movie set concerning firearms safety, you can't realistically expect an anti gun leftist Hollywood flake to know basic firearms safety, and once again these firearms aren't on a shooting range nor are they being handled in someone's home which are both environments that basic firearms safety rules are meant for, a movie set is an entirely different story. All that being said yes, Alec Baldwin is responsible for her death, but not because he himself was handling that firearm, he's responsible because as the producer it was on him to make sure that a competent armorer was hired to run the show with those firearms, he'd be just as responsible as if it was another actor who shot her under the same circumstances and he was the producer.

And here's another news flash for everyone who's saying "He pointed it at her, why'd he do that?" Watch any movie that has a lot of gun action in it, it's very common for actors to point a firearm at the camera, it's called dramatic effect, and the director and camera man are standing right there. John Wayne did it, Clint Eastwood has done it, Keanu Reeves has done it, it's called cinematography, pointing the gun at the camera for getting that dramatic shot on film, it's a common practice in the movies to do it.

Great job John! You covered every angle on how the gun can be fired and why it can't be accidently fired unless you actually pull the trigger. I imagine the only possibility of the gun going off accidently, without the trigger being pulled, is if it is dropped and lands on the end of the hammer, and there is a round in that chamber but since the gun wasn't dropped that disqualifies that possibility. Baldwin had to have squeezed the trigger for that gun to fire. There are no two ways about it. Thanks for the demonstration.

@livewire27595 ай бұрын
I hadn't heard that before... that's an interesting possibility. The way I understood it, he wasn't fanning it in that scene, but they mentioned that the gun had been fanned to point out that the fanning could have damaged the action, which then failed. Since he claimed that once they got the angle right, the director had him cock the hammer and when he took his thumb off, the hammer supposedly fell without him pulling the trigger, then he could claim that he didn't do it on purpose. The problem with that theory is that fanning doesn't damage the catches between the trigger and hammer, it damages the "bolt" that locks the cylinder in place. Either way, the armorer should have checked the gun for both being unloaded AND for any faults in the action before handing Baldwin the gun... and he should have checked it as well. It's understandable that he wouldn't know enough to check the action for proper operation, but he should at least have known how to check if it was loaded knowing he was going to be pointing it at people. It may very well have been an accident, but he's still responsible for it since he could have prevented it.

THANK YOU! Every American citizen who wants to own weapons (other than those who have rendered owning them illegal) should own as many as they want and “Congress shall not infringe”.

I hear people taking Alec Baldwin's side in this matter, speaking about how _"he didn't, or couldn't know"_ that there was a live round in the chamber, or how it's the responsibility of the Armorer on-set to ensure that the _"prop gun is safe."_ What John just demonstrated perfectly is what every gun safety course teaches as one of the (if not THE) most important things that you can teach someone who purchases a firearm: *_"When you're given a weapon, your first responsibility is to CLEAR THE WEAPON!"_* That means, you need to make certain that there are no rounds of any sort that are chambered, or loaded for use in the magazine/cylinder. That includes dummy rounds, blanks, live rounds, or anything else that could obstruct the chamber and/or barrel. Nevermind the fact that live rounds should never be on the set! That's an entirely separate matter, which is likely the responsibility of the Armorer; and she should face her day in court for her neglect of duty. What matters is that it's obvious that Alec *DID NOT* clear the weapon, because had he done so, he wouldn't have killed someone with that weapon. The responsibility for clearing the weapon lay 100% on the shoulders of the person to whom the weapon is being handed. That was Alec; and *HE DIDN'T CLEAR THE WEAPON!* Regardless of anything else that people want to say, someone is dead, because someone grossly neglected his safety responsibilities. As for the notion that it was a _"prop gun:"_ Folks, an actual _"prop gun"_ is something that may look and/or sound like a gun, but it can't fire live rounds. It isn't an actual gun. It lacks either a proper firing mechanism, barrel, or even a proper working chambering mechanism. What Alec had in his hands was an actual single action revolver, which was built to fire live rounds. Even had he confirmed that there were blanks in the weapon, he should *NEVER* have pointed the weapon at someone, while fooling around on the set like some comic book hero. Baldwin has been acting like an immature teenager. Even if he isn't found guilty of manslaughter, he should never be allowed to go near a firearm, replica, or prop gun for the rest of his life. He has demonstrated no accountability for his actions, which means that he's a high risk for this happening to some other unsuspecting victims.

I don't know about the specific weapon that was used on the set of the film, but certain early examples of single action revolvers lacked the safety mechanism that prevented someone from accidentally "fanning" the hammer and igniting the cap. That's why people in the 19th century would often only load 5 of the six chambers, so that the chamber aligned with the barrel would always be empty. Of course, it would be bizarre to use such a weapon on the set of a film.

I noticed that John knows how to keep from scoring the cylinder. Most people when handling a single action revolver, especially after loading or unloading, close the gate, and lower the hammer from the half-cock position. They then turn the cylinder by hand until the locking bolt engages. Continuously using that methodology will result in a scoring line around the cylinder. To avoid this you pull the trigger and with your thumb on the hammer spur, bring it back to the full-cock position, and then ease the hammer down. This way the cylinder is rotated by the interior mechanism and the notch lines up automatically with the bolt.

Many years ago, I carried a .44 magnum single-shot revolver. My father gave it to me for self-defense while I worked my parent’s gold claim. I kept the chamber under the cylinder empty. He also explained that it was a very safe firearm, if used correctly. He spent some time to make sure I would not have my finger on the trigger, unless I intended to fire. Finger discipline needs to be a habit and he wanted to be sure I had the habit. Thank you for the clear explanation.

Commendation to you for having someone on, who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Having ten years as a gun and rifle totter and an armourer in the military, I’ve witnessed so many self taught experts handle weapons in a way that makes me cringe. I also hear people talk about how the military accepts less safety in battle conditions. Nothing can be further from the truth. The crazier things get, the smarter at handling weapons you need to be. You can be submissive in your role when your responsible for a weapon. You must assertively stop anyone from mis handling a weapon your responsible for as well as stopping someone taking on your role when they have no authority to do so. Although an AD have more authority than an armourer, safety trumps everything and an armourer does not allow an AD to determine the status of a weapon or to remove a weapon from the cart. I hate to say this but as a young woman with little experience the armourer might not have been able to have complete control. The AD had a reputation for being reckless so on the first day she should have met with the director and AD in question to lay down the ground rules and stop filming when the AD acted outside those rule with the agreed support of the director or you walk away from the job. All sorts of people in every life situation do things they shouldn’t so if you can’t deal with that find a less dangerous job. There, I said my peace.

At 4:50 you hit on the scenario that is supposedly involved. It is a fact that some models of old firearms (not just "replicas") can cause a round to fire if the firing-pin is resting on the primer. It was common practice to keep the chamber behind the firing-pin empty because of this. This was common knowledge and a common safety practice. If you had an older model firearm, that had a round in the chamber, and the hammer was fully forward and resting on the ammunition round, there is the wild chance that it could cause the firearm to discharge. I know this because I was brought up around old school gun collectors, and this was something they were very strict about and repeated many many many times.

If someone modified the angle of the notch on the hammer and the trigger sear and angled it too much being careless of safety then that can cause the hammer to not lock correctly. Also even a properly done lightened trigger can be so light a small amount of pressure will set it off, hence a hair trigger. No matter how or why, a person lost their life

Keeping the hammer down (or in the "safety" notch) was not about "cheap replicas", but was and still is done with this type firearm. The different "stops" you have with the movement of the hammer are "sear notches". The first notch is the "safety" notch. The second notch pulls down and disengages the cylinder stop allowing the cylinder to rotate for loading. Both these notches are very deep and allow the top portion of the trigger (the trigger sear) to fully engage into these notches so that the trigger cannot be pulled. The full cock hammer notch is really just a "ledge" that engages with the trigger sear but does not hold it in order that the trigger can be pulled, disengaging the hammer allowing it to fire. Bill Ruger in modern times designed what is called a transfer bar system so that the hammer cannot touch the fireing pin unless the trigger is physically held rearward. This makes this type of gun safe to carry with all six chambers loaded. 20 + year retired gunsmith.

@SmallSpoonBrigade2 жыл бұрын
The issue is that actors are not firearm experts and they don't have any control over most of the process. Physically checking at that point just serves to increase the likelihood of an accident happening. The Crow was a great example, an actor would not have found that bit of material lodged in the revolver as an actor wouldn't expect to look for it there. Similarly, there wasn't supposed to be a live round on the set and they're still trying to figure out where it came from. It's not about being a "pain in the butt" it's about the fact that entertainment productions like this have different needs from what typical use of a firearm would permit, and it's not fair to hold them to the same set of rules. It would literally make filming impossible.
@Monty74732 жыл бұрын
@@SmallSpoonBrigade First off, how does physically verifying that a gun is empty/safe after it’s been cleared and handed to you increase the likelihood of an accident.?? That idea goes against logic. Second, if the gun used on the Crow set had been physically checked/ cleared (as John just demonstrated) then the barrel blockage most definitely would have been found and Brandon Lee would not have died that day. Third, your idea that movie sets shouldn’t be held to the same safety standards that any other situation/job involving firearms would be held to is insane. I quote you “it’s not fair to hold them to the same set of rules” Also, just so you know, it has been standard practice/protocol on movie sets for decades to have every hand that touches a firearm confirm it’s condition ie loaded/unloaded, prop-gun/real-firearm etc. In this situation Alec Baldwin had over 30 years experience and training using firearms on set in movies and television. The safety protocols have been drilled into his head for years. He did not follow protocol, period. This is the reason for this accident, which killed one person and wounded another. He is at fault. There’s no way around it. It’s not murder, as many are calling it, but it is definitely manslaughter, probably “Criminally negligent manslaughter” or “Involuntary manslaughter “. He is guilty. This doesn’t mean that he should or will go to prison. I don’t believe he should. It does however mean that he will face consequences both monetary and other. Your statement sounds as if you’re trying to wash away responsibility because they are movie makers/actors. Laws and regulations do not work that way. There’s not a different set for “special people” ie actors & celebrities. Bottom line is, He fucked-up. He fucked-up bad and he’s going to have to pay for it. So will anyone else that touched and cleared that weapon that day. Anyone who cleared that weapon on that day failed at their job and contributed to the situation including Alec. Alec was the last link in the safety chain ( the most important one because it’s your last chance to get it right)and he failed. Now someone is dead and there must be consequences.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade I don't understand how you can make this claim when even George Clooney said that he checks EVERY gun he's handed EVERY time it's handed to him. Not only that, but Baldwin was also one of the producers of this western (a genre that is obviously going to involve a firearm in many scenes) on top of being an actor, therefore I would argue that his need for knowledge on proper gun safety procedure would be even greater than it would be if he was just an actor for the film in question. Also I don't understand how an actor checking a gun increases the likelihood of an accident occurring. Guns aren't complicated, and proper gun safety for any specific firearm could be taught to literally anybody, yet you make it sound like it's some complicated process that would go over an actor's head.

He claimed in the interview that he was slowly cocking it back with no finger on the trigger...and apparently the hammer slipped from his thumb and moved forward on its own, causing the firing pin to strike the bullet.

@cetifoxproductions2 жыл бұрын
Except it's impossible for the hammer to "slip". There are stopping points (as John clearly demonstrated) that prevent the hammer from accidentally striking the round. The first position would have stopped it. And Alec has claimed he never pulled the trigger...which is actually impossible given that the hammer DID engage the round. Alec lied. Period. To be fair, although he absolutely did NOT practice ANY weapon safety, someone else was responsible for there even being a live round in the weapon. Personal opinion: Negligent homicide on the part of the armorer, the person who handed Alec the weapon and Alec himself.

The real issue is that they had live ammo, blank ammo, and dummy ammo on set. Although there is great confusion where the live ammo came from. In theory there should be no live ammo on the set. Dummy ammo has a hole drilled in the case, or BBs or a larger metal piece in the cartridge that ‘rattle’ when shaken. Blanks are still dangerous. Some places modify the barrel to reduce debris moving through the barrel. Obviously guns can be modified. A gunsmith can modify the gun to do ‘fan firing.’ So IMO they need to set new movie set ammunition standards so each ammunition type is color coded. This isn’t easy because movies can be filmed anywhere. Color coding gives you some redundancy…..so even if the armorer screws up, others can visually check ammo type.

Unless this weapon has a transfer bar, which many don't, you can actually hit the hammer if it's fully in the forward position. If the bump is hard enough it can go off. This is why alot of old timers carry with only five rounds.

Great video. Spot on with gun safety. My firearm safety instructor was ADAMANT: Always assume a weapon is loaded no matter what you are told. NEVER receive a weapon from anyone without checking it, and NEVER put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to fire it. If it is loaded or to be loaded, KNOW what it is loaded with. Finally, you (the person shooting) is responsible for that weapon in your possession. It's a sad situation. But, I agree, it doesn't add up (type of weapon vs. what we were told).

Most of the general public, and specifically, non-gun owners that have never handled a firearm, let alone a single action revolver, would never know how to manipulate the action. The interview appeared to be a clear attempt by Alec Baldwin and his legal team to shift blame from him to an inanimate object in the hopes of influencing any potential jury members in future litigation. What a tragic event that could have been completely avoided by basic firearm safety measures. Mr. Baldwin and multiple others inability to keep live ammunition off a movie set and to practice basic firearm safety resulted is loss of life and injury. Mr. Baldwin, take responsibility for your part and own up to your mistake as well as the Armorer and other members of that crew.
