Sure. But that's how it works in movies. The armorer, AD, and probably prop master all check the weapons to make sure it is safe so the actor can pull the trigger on a prop gun.

That's the thing right there. Regardless of your opinion on Baldwin he's an actor not a firearms expert. He was supposed to be given a firearm that was deemed safe by experts. The actor is not expected to know the difference between a real bullet and a dummy round, but the experts are there for that exact reason. I wouldn't be surprised if Baldwin walks or at least gets a lesser charge.
