Actually, a blank can cause injuries. There was a Hollywood actor who was clowning around on the set some years ago with a .44 magnum revolver. He put it to his head and fired the blank he knew was loaded in the chamber. The wadding slammed into his skull at roughly 1500 fps and left him at room temperature. Why did he do this? Because he thought that the device loaded into the gun made it harmless. Sound familiar?
