There's two things at play here:
1 - Why were real bullets loaded into a gun that was being used on a movie set?
2) Did Baldwin know the gun was loaded - or when he heard "cold gun" did he think that mean it had no bullets of any kind? Because even if they were blanks, they could still hurt someone if fired at close range. If he thought it was loaded with blanks, then it still raises the question why would you pull the trigger during a rehearsal and fire blanks at someone?

It doesn't matter that he may or may not have heard "cold gun"...
You still check for yourself...
The armorer, who was supposed to be in charge of the weapons, was nowhere to be found, so the AD took over. A BIG mistake...
As to the "real bullets", there are reports that the guns were being used (after hours) for "plinking" in the desert... Another HUGE lapse in judgement...
