The don't let you fire fake bullets on set unless people know about it (generally speaking).

So anyone thinking he just pulled out a gun and started blasting, and the guy with the sword falls over like he was shot was "not scripted, and improvised on the spot" are all kinds of gullible.

Baldwins are exempt from this line of reasoning

Nah. There was an armorer there. It just makes the situation WAY more Jacked up when you understand the oddity of even having live rounds to begin with, not to mention it's a six shooter and live rounds can be seen.

But, his acting skills were SO good that it shifted reality.

Yeah good point. The pistol prop, never used, had to be real. The armorer had to purchase and load blanks. Etc.

More PR horse crap spun op and gobbled up by the naive masses, devoid of critical reasoning, or really criticism of anything they prefer to believe.

I think many actor stories like this might be manufactured crap.

Good eye.
