But the death shot at Alec Baldwin's camerawoman shocked the film world. Weapon experts discuss security protocols on the film set, especially with "Rust", but also with other Hollywood productions. Now producer and actor Til Schweiger (57) speaks out. In his opinion, live ammunition has lost nothing on a film set, said Schweiger in an interview with

Bild am Sonntag

.

As a rule, real weapons that have been converted are used.

In the USA, the gun masters are "extremely meticulous".

There are always the highest security precautions in this country.

Til Schweiger also suggested how the fatal accident could have come about: "If [Alec Baldwin] has wounded two people, and one person fatally, then it can be assumed that someone might have purposely cleaned the cartridges."
