The one they used on set was a fully functioning gun essentially, which isnt uncommon. The thing is that Baldwin pretty much followed longstanding safety protocol. Actors are not supposed to check the gun prior to shooting it, there's two other people on set who's job it is to make sure it wasn't hot. If the actor ends up checking the gun then that whole process has to be restarted per safety guidelines.

Yeah, but Baldwins involvement goes beyond just being the actor who pulled the trigger. This movie was partly his project and the crew was apparently running wild. They were shooting out in the desert with live ammo between takes and theres speculation that the live ammo they were fucking around with got mixed in with the blanks. Production was a disaster and Baldwin had his hand in that.
