why is alec baldwin have the hammer cocked and then pulls the trigger? so it's not just taking a gun and pulling the trigger, he had to cock that hammer in order to release that bullet. so no one is really talking about that. i get the cross-body thing. whether it's a prop gun or real gun. if you have a real bullet in a prop gun it can kill one person as it did halyna. it went through her and into the director. >> bill: they are acting, okay, on a set in new mexico. why would they have a live bullet? >> that speaks to the incompetence and negligence on the part of this crew. there should not have been any live ammo anywhere. this is what happens in a real movie where they have real professionals. you take that gun, you open the chamber, you see there are no bullets in the chamber, you take a light, you look down the barrel. no casing in the barrel and then you say cold gun. you prove it is a cold gun. this was amateur hour to save money and one person died. it is -- you could say alec baldwin didn't mean it. that's not the test. the test is was he reckle

that should have been probably what alec baldwin was drilling with. apparently he was practicing a complicated cross draw maneuver, which is not common, where the holster would be on the opposite side and you draw across your body. that should have been probably what he was practicing with. it's interesting that there were 500 rounds removed from the set, whether they were live ammo, blanks or dummy rounds. what a dummy round is, it's basically an inert round. there's no gun bo prouder. sometimes they're filled with bbs so you can share them and hear what they sound like. i'm curious to find the breakdown of how much of each type of round was available on that set. >> scott, you point out the number there of rounds, this is a western. 500 rounds. is that an atypical amount regardless of the breakdown? >> i've been on sets where you can pop 100 rounds in a day. it's not that difficult to do. so if they were -- if this was for the whole production, it's possible. i don't know what the script is like or how much gunfire there was. that is not uncharacter
