It's kind of a big ask for a young lady with little experience to stand up to a middle aged boss that meddles in the jobs of others. How do we know the AD isn't the one who brought real bullets onto the set? The guy was fired from another movie production a couple years ago for a similar, but not lethal, "accident."
It seems the more details I hear about this incident the more I feel like the AD is key culprit in this tragedy.

It doesn't take more than a few seconds to open a revolver, semi-auto pistol, shotgun or rifle to see if it is loaded or not. The process is not difficult at all. Some buttons and levers are a little different from one pistol to the next. But it's not difficult to learn, especially if a competent armorer is on hand to help.
