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.

You don't need a working chamber at all; with modern cgi you can make it indistinguishable from the real thing.

Well while that's a pretty great video, it's definitely not "indistinguishable".

I mean, you are correct that it can be made indistinguishable, but this youtube skit ain't that, although it's pretty fucking hilarious.

Clearly ″indistinguishable″ was meant here as a joke

You're very likely correct. I'm fron the 80's and while that might have been clear to you, it wasn't to me.

I apologise.

It's just very high quality compared to the jokey videos we were making at that age with camcorders and no pc's.

You have been forgiven. Here is a somewhat gun related sketch from WKUK that is even more HQ, but that is expected cause this was on TV, episode aired on 2008.

I miss the Whitest Kids You Know.

My favourite is still the PCP skit

Giggled like a motherfucker last week when my brother showed that to me.

It's a rough world in business, innit?
