Assuming what is posted here is true. Even if you accept that a movie set has it is own set of rules... it is still on him.
1) There was no scene where he was required to fire anything be it a "prop gun" or a "real gun" at anyone.
BTW I would bet that it one were to dive into the ATF book one would find that a "real gun" is always a "real gun" until it is permanently and irrevocably rendered incapable of firing live ammunition.
2) He accepted the weapon from someone other than the armorer.
3) Since he was the producer / director or whatever he was and not just an Actor he is even more responsible for knowing the rules.
Does Pietta even make cartridge revolvers? Was it modified to accept cartridge ammunition? Why?
