forgive my ignorance, how much do you check?  is he to unchamber the round, too?  

if he is responsible, why even have a gun guy on set?  actors should be told they have the full responsibility.  go full keanu if you wanna shoot in the movies!

The gun was not supposed to be fired, he was just supposed to point it at the camera for the scene. Many things come to mind.

1. If it was supposed to be empty, you can check if it's empty within a second
2. If it was supposed to be loaded with dummy rounds (not blanks) because it was a close enough shot and you want the loaded rounds to be visible in the revolver, you use a *replica* that is incapable of shooting.
3. If you at any point want to shoot a scene where a real, potentially loaded gun is pointed at the camera, the camera should be remotely operated and nobody should be standing in front of the gun at any point. There were two people standing in front of the gun here, one of them was the person that died. There should never have been a real gun capable of firing being pointed toward them, for any filmmaking reason.
