This is on a MOVIE SET not gun range. And he does not seem to be a big fan of shooting guns.

And from what I understand this is an old gun which could fire given the right circumstances.
Nonsense.

Alec knew darned well he had pulled the trigger, thereby firing the revolver, and lied about not doing so multiple times. Furthermore he negligently failed to check the revolver for live rounds, especially before pointing it at someone and pulling the trigger, ignoring the most basic rules of firearm safety. It was not for an actual shoot (sorry about using that word here) on an active movie set after the director yelled "Action". He happened to be on a set when he was carelessly fooling around with a loaded gun like a four year old who did not know any better might do. His pointing the loaded revolver which he failed to check for live rounds at the woman, then pulling the trigger, thereby shooting and killing her is simply inexcusable.
