How do you expect Baldwin to figure out the bullet was live when the supposed professional didn't figure it out? She described loading the bullet without the hole, it wouldn't go in, yet she persisted and finally got it loaded. So its not like she didn't get a good look at it.
Agree 100%. The fact that the last round would not go in should have been her first screaming clue.
Films hire professional armorers for a damn reason. HGR was green and careless, e.g. previous film with Nick Cage. Inexperienced, with a hyper-short resume, she no doubt came cheap, which made Rust's bean counters happy. But like they say ... you get what you pay for.
IMHO, She had no business in this business as head armorer, without more extensive training / experience as an assistant. Just because one's dad is a legendary, crackerjack armorer doesn't mean his skills / credentials are automatically passed down through DNA.
