As if the weapon was at fault somehow and Baldwin was just an observer to the event.
Well, I don't think we know what happened yet. If it's a "gun battle sequence" you fire in rapid succession. Also, I think I read it was one bullet that hit two different people, but I don't know.
They were filming a western set in 1880's Kansas, right? Now ask yourself: "What is the most commonly used handgun in a western?"
Answer: A Colt SAA. A single action revolver that must be manually cocked before each time it is fired. Now I don't know what type they were actually using yet. Yes, we know, there were double-action revolvers in existence at the time. But they were not common in 1880's Kansas at that time. So...
Multiple shots from a manually cocked, single-action revolver is not logically classifiable as an "oopsie-daisy". In the time that it would take to re-cock and fire a second shot, what do you think the director who was hit was doing and saying at that moment?
