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.

This is a very dangerous way of thinking. If it comes down to not holding the individual who pulled the trigger responsible for the consequences of shooting someone dead, what would prevent anyone else from claiming ‘someone else is responsible but it certainly isn’t me’ when any loaded gun is handed to him and someone is killed? Say a gun owner,
who is responsible for that firearm unknowingly hands off a loaded firearm. Is it reasonable to say, ‘It’s his gun! I didn’t know it was loaded. It’s his fault!’
In such a case, what would prevent
any unintentional discharge of a firearm and the consequences including death, be the responsibility of the gun owner?
Two people plinking. The gun owner lays his firearm down, both thinking he spent the last round when the other person picks it up and kills somebody. Is the
gun owner then responsible?
This is a very, very dangerous precedent. It opens the door to all gun owners being held responsible for the consequences of someone else’s negligence.
In my worthless opinion, the person pulling the trigger should
always be held responsible for whatever happens because of it.
