Don't know the details of the Baldwin accident. But it brings back memories of Lee's tragic death, and blanks weren't mistaken for live rounds in that accident.

Hollowed-out cartridges are often used to film close-ups of a gun being loaded; the “dummy” cartridges are then supposed to be removed and replaced with blanks before being fired. The police investigation into Lee’s death concluded that a tip of one of the cartridge’s bullets broke off from the cartridge and lodged in the gun, then fired at Lee along with the blank.
