Gee...don't y'all think they might have a mechanical machine to do it?

You don't need a live round to drop test a gun. A blank or just an
empty primed case will work just fine. (the latter being the easiest
and cheapest).
I also doubt this is a machine. I imagine there is a protocol they
follow (height, surface, angle etc). They just have some government
apparatchik sitting on a stool dropping guns all day.

Just a clarification ... virtually *all* handguns since the 1940's have
some sort of transfer block or other mechanism that prevents the hammer
from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. The drop
test required in Massachusetts is intended to ensure the mechanism works
as advertised.

No, they use a drunk. How else could they replicate Harry's scenario.

How did he get to the movie?
Statistically that guy was a lot more dangerous driving drunk than
dropping his gun ... but that is not "news".

You seem to have an apologetica ready for any sort of gun nonsense.

You seem to spend a lot of time searching for gun nonsense. Why? Are you trying to
show what a 'sensiible' person you are?

Gun nonsense? Well, that says a lot about you.

I don't suppose you recall using the phrase, eh?

I'm trying hard not to call you some names you know you deserve.

And you hype up the .01%
A stranger being injured in a gun accident is way down in the noise of
any statistic, even gun deaths.
They are all far behind DUI car accidents.
Is it unreasonable to ask how he got to the movie?
