The articles I've read on the "Rust" movie set said the Camera Operators and support had issues with the Producers. They were working long hours, staying in hotel 50 miles from the set and safety measures were not taken. They weren't satisfied with the progress and arrived that morning at 6am and started gathering their gear. The Producers had NonUnion workers there to continue shooting and the accident happened just before 2pm.
As far as weapons are concerned, they seem to be loaded with paper, plastic or other materials. The prop arms have to be checked twice, safety reviews and training for actors and one Armour controls the prop arms at all times. It is a mystery why there were live rounds in the firearm Alec was given but I'm sure it will all come out in the investigation.
