It was a cinematographer on a western. The director was probably looking at the screen. There's always camera shots of the gun aiming at the camera in shootemups.

It's the hollywood kabal eilte getting rid of anyone standing in their way and stopping them from eating babies, they had to go. They knew too much.

Did the producers hire a 'prop master'?

Yes. A lousy one. Three people handled the firearm. Not one checked it. Two people were in front of the business end of the revolver- neither one took the time to ensure their own safety by checking what was loaded in it. Apparently there were no remote cameras or protective shielding used for filming the scene.

As far as I look at it, three individuals who handled the firearm are all guilty of manslaughter. Negligence reigned supreme that day.
