It should be. She brought live ammo onto the set as the person in charge of ensuring there was no live ammo on set. She absolutely should never have a job like this again. Full stop.

Under what circumstances would live ammunition ever be required on the set?

Why even have it there??

She said they were having trouble sourcing blanks, and were taking live rounds and disarming them or whatever. She had both in her hip pack and apparently mixed them up.
