Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed Female Cinematographer, Injured Director on Movie Set

Cylinder turns as well,, as the hammer is drawn.

Half way still moves the cylinder OUT of Battery. Won't fire. it's a Mechanical thing.

It's a mechanical thing. Exactly. Mr. Baldwin, its behavior is much more predictable than yours. Crying doesn't change that.

I just took my Colt Navy out and held the trigger down while pulling back the hammer. As long as I pull the hammer all the way back, before letting go of it, it will fire.

That is also how I learned to quick draw.. Finger on the trigger before it is drawn,, thumb draw the hammer back as I draw.

Clear leather and release the hammer.

Don't draw against me.

His lawyers should have told him to just STFU and stay off the public interview circuit.

Or maybe they did, but his ego just couldn't resist.

He just keeps talking.

I'm surprised Baldwin even did an interview. All he's doing is digging his own grave.

 

[acptulsa]

Bet he'll start blaming the person that gave him the prop gun.

How did you know? You must be psychic.

Either that, or you've seen sociopaths with an exaggerated sense of entitlement squirm before.

Second half of the middle paragraph.. if true... WOW.....

He contradicted the hell out of this eyewitness. If he was asked to point the thing at the camera and play with the hammer, the injured assistant director would know. I wonder if that person is more interested in his career, or justice?

So my question is, on any average revolver [not modified], can you manipulate the hammer in any way where it will strike the firing pin with sufficient force to set off a bullet/cartridge without being restrained by the trigger mechanism. As in, can you pull it back just before it engages the mechanism and release in order to fire the round ?

There is far too much variety to call anything an “average” revolver. There is single action and double action. There are a variety of models, especially more modern ones, that have additional safety features such as transfer bar between the hammer and firing pin.

I just assume that he had some type of period piece, which would be a single action.

Good question. I do not for a second accept that a gun fires itself. The rest of the case can be debated but guns do not fire themselves.

You are correct, a gun won’t fire itself, but the gun can drop or be struck with an object such that it will fire, especially if it is an old western six shooter with the firing pin in contact with the bullet primer.

Baldwin admits to pulling on the hammer. Releasing the hammer back too fast can be enough force to ignite the primer and fire the gun. Or he may have pulled the trigger at some point.

It is conceivable that both the carrot and the stick is coming into play with the witnesses. Both bribes and threats of “you’ll never work in this industry again”.

I tried to look at what it was... It was a Colt .45, but that can obviously mean lots of different models, even if it's period. Not my expertise beyond knowing there are many different ones.

In order to release the hammer after it's reached half or full cock, you need to squeeze the trigger ?

 

[pcosmar]

Maybe this will help.

Half Cock will put the hammer between cylinders.. could not hit a bullet.

Fully cocked,,trigger must be pulled.

...

We could make some generalizations, but the only way to know for sure would be to experiment with the actual gun Baldwin fired.

If it's in proper working order, yes. I'm thinking Baldwin will soon be playing the "this was the armorer" card:

He certainly set that "defense" up.

I understand how they are supposed to work, I'm just trying to see what kind of opportunity there could be for a gun to fire by just manipulating the hammer.

Only a "Slip Gun" that is modified so,, a malfunction perhaps on a gun badly worn out.

still a question of Live Ammo on a movie set.

It could have been a supernatural experience that will never repeat itself. Heck people don't even know how the pyramids were built. It could have been an invisible enemy time traveler that wanted revenge.

 

[ClaytonB]

Baldwin's lawyers should have told him to keep his mouth absolutely shut, he's literally digging his own grave in these interviews. Given what we know about Baldwin, I would have thought he would be smarter than this, but people never cease to surprise me...
