How can I watch the press conference? Thanks in advance.
Colt still makes their Single Action Army model.I've been wondering about this. Where would a production source their guns from?, are there companies from which you hire the specific type of firearms needed for the genre?.
This would make the most sense to me, but until now I think I have always assumed all guns in movies and TV productions were replicas so I'm interested to find out.

I've read multiple posts that mention vintage guns. I have searched for a source and have not found one that states this.Great questions!
Now, for some added confusion...
Knowing this was a " Budget film", who is ordering and procuring the prop weapons? (Please note, the word "prop" means property. Not, fake...as I had thought previously )
Why would a film " on a budget" pay for a vintage weapon, when they could obtain replicas for less? Surely, this would cost more.
How many vintage weapons were there on set?
Did 'someone' insist on the vintage weapon? If so, who? The prop manager? The director? The producer? The actor?

Can you help with this? Thanks.
Interesting. I imagine with so many people working on the set, there will be some that will talk and share the names of the the people that were involved (shooting) in the target practice.Hopefully not. I have to have faith that they will go step by step and get to the bottom of exactly who did what. However I just heard on CNN that New York Times is saying the target practice that morning is UNCONFIRMED. So who knows if that actually happened now?
Authorities provide update following Baldwin's fatal prop gun shootingHow can I watch the press conference? Thanks in advance.
500 ! rounds of ammunition ?
Did I hear that correctly? There were approximately ninety people on the set? That's a whole lot of interviews! I'm glad the FBI is assisting.
It may have been a mistake and taken down. Thanks for looking.I wish I could! I have read many many articles over this last week. This was stated in an article somewhere about the weapon being vintage. And, that someone insisted on having a true period time weapon. The article and/or the statement seems to have disappeared from the web though. Imagine that..

I assumed film companies just rented their props from some prop company. But I'm not sure that would work with real firearms. I'm not sure how that works.bbm
Hannah may have had possible access through her father’s collection, but that’s my opinion only.
One armorer who turned down the job because he didn’t feel it was safe, said part of the reason he turned it down was down was due to the low budget, and he mentioned the source of the props:
“He couldn’t get an answer on the budget for his “kit,” industry jargon for his cache of props needed to stock the set.”…
…
Zoromski said he initially asked for a department of five technicians. He was told that “Rust” was a low-budget production and that plans were to use items from a local prop house. He modified his request to have at least two experienced crew members: one to serve as an assistant prop master and the other as an armorer, or gun wrangler, dedicated to making sure the weapons were safe, oiled and functioning properly.
But the “Rust” producers insisted that only one person was needed to handle both tasks.
“You never have a prop assistant double as the armorer,” Zoromski said. “Those are two really big jobs.”
