[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prop guns are real guns that are used to fire blanks. Blanks are special cartridges that contain gunpowder but no ballistics. Meaning: They make a bang sound like a gun, have a muzzle explosion etc...but do not fire bullets or anything else. No movie set even has bullets to load into a prop gun in the first place. That said, they can be deadly. Misfire. Someone could have prepared the cartridge incorrectly . Shrapnel from the cartridge can in rare cases explode and cause damage or death. She was most likely shot because she was probably filming a scene where the gun is pointing at the camera when it was fired. the Director would have been standing behind her. Prayers for her family, for the family of the director, for Alec Baldwin and for the rest of the cast and crew. This must have been horriffic.[/quote]

It seems really unlikely that a blank would tear right through a cameraman and then maim a person standing behind her. [/quote]

Not really. If it was being aimed at the camera, it could’ve sliced/nicked her neck/artery and then hit the director behind her.

It’s just sad all around [/quote]
