Wonder if they checked Alex's blood alcohol level... bet not but should of... he is a known to tilt them back. If they are lucky they can pull a print off the casing and identify who put the live round in. If its clean of print would make one pause. Unless its ball and cap... which was still popular in that time period of this movies time frame. Even so they should still be able to pull prints from the barrel and ramrod lever. But I doubt that is the case. Regardless its Baldwin's reponceablity to double check the condition and confirm the gun is clear and safe before pointing in the direction of any living thing yet alone people and pulling the trigger.

Many who shoot old guns reload to not stress something old, the history of that gun might be interesting. Instead of a real live round being on the movie set. Was that period gun found just in time for the movie, maybe it has a lead slug lodged inside the barrel. New blanks might push out something that was half way up a barrel. None of that means anything after it passed threw two people.
