He'd have shot whomever he was pointing the gun at and pulled the trigger. That's how loaded guns work. That person literally dodged a bullet that no one..or no one who's speaking up, knew was there.
Speaking of other angles worth exploring that haven't been mentioned in thread - it's entirely possible that no one in the chain of responsibility actually did anything wrong with specific regards to that firearm. That there isn't really any productive avenue for holding anyone accountable at all. That would be unfortunate, but it happens alot..in fact, that's the nature of the majority of on-set accidents - which probably ought to strike us as obvious..since there wouldn't be any money in making movies otherwise on account of all the claims being payed out. Even a claim of broad malfeasance on set won't hold if they did this part right and it went south anyway.
