People working on set are not involved in the movie (i.e not the actors).
Because of the danger that even blank rounds pose, there is ZERO excuse for fooling around with a weapon on set. Zero excuse for rehearsing a scene by saying 'oh this is how I will draw my gun and fire it' when you're within the distance of where the blanks can hurt someone. If the scene is being filmed and blanks are being used, generally nobody SHOULD within the danger distance which I believe is 5-10'.
If people are within the danger distance, blanks are generally not used and they opt for VFX.
This is standard gun safety. Prop gun or not. Baldwin screwed up, and should be charged.
