I feel like even if they were hungover… how did an actual bullet make its way into the barrel of that gun?

Came here to say the exact same. What does a LIVE bullet do on set either way. Hungover or not that’s just insane.

Not just one bullet. Other bullets were also found. There were 2 accidental misfires earlier during filiming, so the union camera crew walked off the day before the fatal shooting. There was an email/text chain to the producers in the FBI and OSHA report that showed a very negligent set.
