I believe (and it will eventually come out) that the armourer was responsible for the live ammo being brought on site and eventually on set. She is young, scared and inexperienced and is going to deny responsibility until enough evidence is brought forth and then and only then will she break.

Yes, as to that discharge...the armorer is, by description, responsible for all weapon related events. However, we don't know the circumstances that could influence that.
Was the armorer present because they were going to use weapons that day or not?
Baldwin was also 'in charge' as the producer and many had left the job scene due to activity they could not abide union related and safety.
What he is responsible for is not checking a weapon IF it was not supposed to be used in that scene and he picked it up himself without the armorer present.
IOW, it ain't cut/dried.
He pulled or had the trigger suppressed when he drew and cocked....he just has ptsd'd that out of the sequence.
