Did Alec Baldwin fire the weapon without pulling the trigger?
By Molly Slag
The universe reacted with disbelief when Alec Baldwin claimed he didn’t pull the trigger.
But Saturday it was reported that Assistant director Dave Halls has always maintained that Baldwin’s “finger was never in the trigger guard”
In addition, yesterday it was reported that Baldwin admits he did retract the hammer of the revolver. That leads to a question: Could the weapon be made to fire by manipulating the hammer only, without pulling the trigger?
The weapon involved is a revolver. What happens when the hammer of a revolver is retracted? As the hammer is drawn back the cylinder is revolved to the firing position for the next cartridge. When the hammer is fully retracted it locks in place and is released when the trigger is pulled.
