Alec Baldwin to be charged with involuntary manslaughter over “Rust” death

.45 long Colt is a brass cartridge round, not a cap and ball.

Cap and ball are able to fire without a trigger pull.

It is likely that Baldwin is lying.
None of the cap and ball revolvers I have can be fired without a trigger pull.
What are you referring to?
He had a Pietta 1873 which I have several of.

Any cap and ball can fire without the trigger even engaged... the hammer doesn't have to be cocked for the cap to fire, that's why cap and ball are usually loaded with an empty chamber situated in the top position.

That is incorrect at best.
I load all six or five depending on the model.
The colts have safety nipple between the chambers and the Remingtons have notches for the hammer to rest on while carrying.
The cowboy load of 5 with a open cylinder is a safety rule at cowboy shoots and reenactments nobody left a empty chamber in real world use........historically inaccurate.

Your real world differs from the real world.

Safety matters to many.

I can shoot your cap and ball without pulling the trigger.

You can too if you want to.

If you're thinking that this is some kind of contest of knowledge just go get yourself some more.

;)
Would one do that by owning,shooting and working on the exact same make and model?
😆
Not a lot of people shoot BP what are you shooting that discharges at will?

Perhaps I should point out that a Pietta 1873 in .45 long Colt isn't a cap and ball.

Lots of people shoot black powder.

All of my guns, not just black powder, discharge at will.

Any cap and ball I have ever shot can be discharged without a trigger pull.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, it's obviously upsetting.

Show me.






Edit for discharge at will is either complete hyperbole or you're the most incompetent fire arm owner alive........how are you still alive with all your guns discharging at will?

Interesting idea, having something stuck in the barrel.
Was the cartridge not looked at as evidence? It seems to may or may not of been a blank, from what I read here. Surely which it is, is not at question?
If the crew were playing with live rounds, then they are all a party to this. Not having them on set, is a safety foundation. Them then keeping tight lipped, isn't just looking after their friends. It could be key to future employment in that trade, while avoiding their share of the blame. These are the motivations that keep people quiet in the face of police questioning. Themselves.

"All of my guns, not just black powder, discharge at will."

By "at will", can I assume you mean that you consider all guns to be autonomous?
