Whomever provided the live rounds for plinking also has to answer for that.
But the armorer is the one responsible even if the producer is the one who handed the revolver to Baldwin. The producer should not have been able to access the weapon.

AB has definitely had some type of training with guns but it concentrated on handling a weapon in a realistic way on camera as opposed to actual firearms training.
And it was the 1st AD, (assistant director), who handed him the gun, not a producer. This is significant because that person is an employee with specific duties and responsibilities and a producer would be a boss.
