Good God, was that written by Baldwin's publicist? First of all "prop guns" don't chamber live rounds, that's what makes them prop guns.

Second, you gotta love how the "prop gun" apparently fired a round on its own. Baldwin just happened to be holding it when the gun apparently decided to fire sua sponte.


I am not sure your definition of a "prop gun" is the actually accepted definition of a "prop"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prop

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionari.../prop_1?q=prop

"​[usually plural] a small object used by actors during the performance of a play or in a film"

There is no requirement that a "prop" not be able to fire live rounds.

Example:? Myth Busters. They used actual guns, and fired them, as "props".
