One of multiple live bullets found on the set of “Rust” by investigators of the 2021 fatal shooting was discovered in the bandolier of actor Jensen Ackles, according to crime scene technician Marissa Poppell.
Poppell disclosed the detail while on the stand during the second day of testimony in the involuntary manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin, nearly three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the New Mexico set of the Western film.
Asked about the live rounds of ammunition that were discovered on set, Poppell said investigators found some on a prop cart, in a box of ammo and also in two prop gun holsters — the one worn by Alec Baldwin and another worn by co-star Ackles.
So make a caliber that’s only used for prop guns and blanks.
The trick is getting the whole industry to standardize on it
Then you’d want it in every style of weapon, including historical
Well, yeah. probably most difficult in guns that were historically muzzle-loaded
This is pretty much 8mm, which is widely used in blank guns already.
