Then when they removed the dummy, the projectile stayed jammed in the lands. Then a blank was inserted for the shooting scene and the rest you can work put for yourselves.

I know that I wouldn't.

Always point a firearm in a safe direction.
Always treat a firearm as loaded.
Never point a firearm at something that you don't want to kill or destroy.
Someone was killed here by an act of stupidly.
Blanks still fire massive volumes of hot gas at extreme pressures ( shock horror, is that why they go BANG !)
Honestly can anyone here say they'd load a blank and fire it directly at a mate from any range ?
I know that I wouldn't.

I've never done it as a civilian and would not. Unless it was under controlled conditions for a training purpose.
We weren't supposed to fire at someone within 2 meters i think it was.
