Everyone affected by the negligence of the armorer is a victim.  Some more so than others, but all victims nonetheless. I doubt Alec will seek damages but to say he is not a victim is nonsense.

Quote:The incident occurred when Dave Halls, an assistant director, handed the prop gun -- one of three on hand -- to Baldwin, and said, "Cold gun," to let the crew know that a gun with no live rounds was being handled, according to a search warrant from Santa Fe County obtained by ABC News.

...

Halls told investigators that he didn't know there were rounds in the gun when he handed it to Baldwin, according to the warrant.

This is not the first time that Halls has allegedly been involved in an on-set mishap involving a gun, according to a crew member who worked with him in the past.
