why a weapon was loaded with live ammo

Why is there live ammo anywhere near set.

IIRC the armorer responsible for the weapons management was extremely negligent (facing charges of her own), and that is part of what the other crew raised issues with re:safety.

IMO if the producer (Baldwin) ignored those specific warnings, he should be held partly responsible. This gets confounded further since he also fired the gun.
