Chaotic production, non union, live target practice w real bullets in same guns as used when Alex Balwin shot the director in a needlessly reckless staging shot of a loaded gun. Doesn't matter how live bullets got in there if we discuss how the test shot was unnessary on many levels. Sorry, he might be left of center but this was his fault. Many had quit the production that very week over flagrant safety dangers, professionals quit as they felt unsafe enough to quit mid production.
