[Right Wing Assault]

Jon Erik Hexum. Yes, blanks can kill, too. An experiment NOT to try. Take a shotgun shell and remove the pellets. Shoot yourself in the head with it. Result? No head. The gases short range can do hugh damage. Pistol blanks can do a lot of damage, too. (I know it's not exactly related to this shooting, but it's something good to know.)

Didn't some guys recently put a cigarette in a pistol with blanks and shoot their buddy at short range and he died?

Hexum did something really stupid, he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, and even without a bullet, the blank cartridge wad was enough to shatter his skull. You don't screw around with guns like that, period.

Jon-Erik Hexum...from "Cover Up"...that's the one I was thinking of.

[Battle Axe]

It was Jon-Erik Hexum that I was thinking of. I don't think that a projectile ever entered his body. I think he died of percussion due to the shell being exploded too near his ear.
