Just for clarity, you're supposed use a blank adapter, A) so that the firearm will cycle properly, and B) so that nothing comes out of the barrel like that.

Yup. 1984. TV show Cover Up. Lead actor Jon Erik Hexun goofing around did a Russian roulette with a 44 magnum blank to his temple. End of the show.

"Don't know if I'd say deadly" as there's an eye socket sized hole in the clay lmfao "walk it off, bud. You'll be fine."

I remember when I was in the Army. When we'd do field training exercises, we'd use blanks with BFAs on the barrel. One time.. I unscrewed the BFA and shot a blank at this huge spider. It blew him to pieces! If you put that point blank to your head.. it could definitely kill you!

I heard his voice and starting singing “My name is Cleveland Brown”😂😂

“I don’t know if I’d say deadly” Alec Baldwin says otherwise.

"MY NAME IS CLEAVLAND BROWN AND I AM PROUD TO BE..."

When I was in high school we had an assembly on the football field with some cowboy gunslinger actors. The used blanks. The had a little PSA before the show to demonstrate how dangerous blanks are, and they trained to aim the guns so that they never pointed them directly at other actors, but so that you couldn't tell from the audience. They shot an empty soda can from a couple feet away and it was destroyed. Besides, it doesn't matter if it blanks or empty you don't point guns at people who are not actively trying to kill you.

"Dunno if I'd say deadly" my brother in christ multiple people have died by blanks 💀💀

Lmao all I could think about was Clevland Brown's voice

The general rule of thumb is treat any powder filled cartridge like it's deadly

I nearly expected you to say "oh that's nasty" when you shot the clay.

hell yea they are. a movie star died from a 22 blank back in the day

Yes it's deadly depending on where on the body you push the gun up against. Especially the temple on the head.

Fun fact that blast is part of the reason why explosions under water can kill you. It's if you end up having your body impacted by a force you can suffer collapsed lungs, internal bleeding, and even heart swelling.

"I wouldn't wanna be hit point blank by a blank "😂😂😂

There was a Hollywood ‘star’ who discharged a 44 calibre semi-auto with ‘blanks’ against his temple. He died in hospital.

*25 percent of clay is gone after shot* Him: “yep, I wouldn’t say deadly…”

Imagine if that was your head during a movie for a new director.

Your voice has as much aesthetic character as Cleveland from family guy 💀

"No" - Alec Baldwin, October 1st, 2021.

It can actually kill someone, know from experience, not my experience for clarification

"Fill in the blanks" -A wise Man.

It's not a BLANK, it's a BLAST. A tremendous blast that can tear you apart.

It’s literally 1 am here and I’m watching this instead of sleeping 💀

When my dad was in military boarding school in the 50's, they used to give the kids sten SMGs with blanks to go on exercises and shoot each other. One time some kids got lost and accidentally opened fire on an Italian tourist at a holiday camp. Poor guy heard the pinging against a vending machine and thought he was really being shot at by machine guns in the middle of the English countryside.

The Police Academy I attended uses blanks in the practical day they put on for each class. The class after mine had a Cadet lose an eye. One of the Actors in the event fired a blank close to the Cadet’s face and caused the injury. Full power blanks can be deadly at close range. They use a different kind now that only uses a primer as the charge. It’s not very impressive, but safer.

The point is, some people fire blanks without the bfa, for noise. You see that many blanks are simply crimped and sealed with resin. Some of them, to restrict powder shifting, have a squib at the front. That sealer disc is a projectile and can do severe harm at just a few feet. It becomes a bullet, at deadly speed, before air resistance slows it down.

Alec baldwin: WRITE THATDOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

Ask Brandon Lee if blanks are dangerous...

It’s because of the percussion of the firearm. The gunpowder caused it to have a percussion just the same as it would with a regular round.

There was an old police officer who taught the boys gun safety in the Boy Scouts program of our church. He wanted everyone to know that guns were dangerous and not toys, and he fired a blank from a handgun into a 2X4 and made a similar hole into it. His point was that at close range they can still kill. I mean it is a lot of power to throw all that lead at all that speed out the front of the gun.

They sure as hell shoot a cleaning rod well out of sight lmao.

Is a blank deadly? IDK ask Alex Baldwin

Hell yes blanks are deadly especially if there's a cleaning rod in your Barrell

If you're frequently firing off blanks there are typically designated rifles designed for it most of the time the barrels are covered to a certain extent to mitigate some of that hot gas from shooting out.

*makes a golf ball sized hole in the clay block* "Idk if id say deadly" Yeah ok

The hole causing by the air pressure???

This is like asking if bombs are deadly. Like of course theres no shrapnel but air still exists.

A lady in our platoon had a accidental discharge during an inspection arms near a guys face once in PLDC. It wasn't directly in his face but close enough. He didn't get hurt thankfully.

Had a teacher in middle school who's son died accidentally while playing Russian roulette with blank rounds. My uncle was the one who responded to the call. Said it was noticeably messier than a regular suicide and the whole situation was a nightmare because it was a good two dozen drunk high-school kids who were present and watched it happen with completely undivided attention.

"Are blanks deadly?" I don't know lets ask Brandon Lee..... oh wait.

I remember my sex ed teacher saying "ya won't catch me shootin blanks" 🤣🤣🤣

Are blanks deadly? The crow: am I a joke to you?

Appreciate it cleveland brown 🙏

"Let's blast this thing!" ***Gun Farts***

A Hollywood actor was goofing around on set with a pistol used in a movie. He put it to his head and pulled the trigger thinking a blank wouldn't hurt him. It killed him. This was in the news about 20 years ago.

At point blank range it can cause serious damage or injury. Modified or special rounds can be used in certain "blank" pistols that can be lethal or non-lethal depending on the modifications and design of ammunition being used. It is important to always be sure that the firearm/Gun is indeed loaded with "Blanks" before use and to treat it as a real firearm/Gun should be handled no matter the circumstances. Always practice safety first. 🙌🛡️💯

Ohhh yea That’s deadly asf

Nasty powder burn at close range, I remember going to "Ghost Town in the Sky" in WNC Mtns and watched the Gunfights and Train Robbery as a kid, it was so cool, they'd fire blanks.

This is why in the military when using blank rounds we always used a blank adapter inside and around the barrel!

Actor Jon-Erik Hexum accidentally killed himself on the set of action series "Cover Up" in 1984. While horse playing between sets, he played "Russian Roulette" with a handgun loaded with one blank. The initial force fractured his temple and pushed bone fragments into his brain, causing massive hemorrhage. He was taken off like support six days later.

Y’all know it was the gas’s escaping from the barrel that caused the cavity

Should've tried a coconut 🥥

Since there is no bullet, in the Army we have blank adapters on the ends of our rifles and machine guns to trap enough of the gas to the weapon recocks itself, just as it would if a live round was fired. We also have lasers mounted on the ends of the weapons that emit a pulse of eye safe laser light when the weapon is fired and if it is aimed at you, and you're wearing a MILES vest, it will beep and you are considered a casualty. Want to know more, go look up the MILES system.

Drill Sergeants watching this are screaming in BFA cuss words

God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽✝️

An actor was messing around with a gun loaded with blanks on a set and he put the gun to his temple, thinking it was harmless, and pulled the trigger, he did die. His name was Jon-Erik Hexum. Blanks can be very deadly.

Why he sound like Cleveland brown from family guy 💀💀💀💀💀💀

1000 ways to die terrified me, the scene when the daughters father comes in the room with the gun full of blanks and put it to his head and it killed him.

I saw a kid blow his heart out with a 12 gauge blank because he wanted to prove he was "invincible"

It is deadly. My neighbors 16yo son was in a theater production, and they had a revolver with blanks for a sound effect. He didn’t cover his ear closest to gun, and he died of brain hemorrhage.

"Is this small, directed charge explosion deadly?" I'll take Stupid Questions for $400, Alex.

When I visited Norwich in the course of looking at colleges the cadets told us that one of the cadres had recently gotten mauled during an exercise. The unit was supposed to fight through a mock ambush but apparently some live rounds were mixed in with the blanks.

Blanks for showing that. It was a real banger.

This is on the level of saying that if the bullet doesn't go all the way through your body, it's not deadly

Bullet voice in video : 😊 bullet in real : 💀

I recall back when blanks were less advanced and more new to being used in movies. There was a movie where a guy was shot and they blank killed the actor

There has been at least one recorded death when a 7,62x 51 blank was fired from a HK G3 w/o Manöver Patronengerät. One of the powder particles reached the Heart, killing the man on the spot. This story among others was Part of the curriculum when I was a conscript in 1989.

Death by a point blank shot to the head with a blank is old school. The actor Jon-Eric Hexum was joking around with a blank loaded handgun and fired it against his skull killing him in 1984.

Every time he says blank he sounds like Cleveland brown

To quote Ron White, it ain't THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing

If you are unfamiliar, "point blank" doesn't mean you think it means.

There was an actor that killed himself with a blank way back in the day. His name was Jon-Erik Hexum. Blew a quarter size hole through his skull.

Blank rounds are like a natural selection simulator

Yes blanks can be deadly. Remember that young 20 something year old Hollywood star who was fooling around and shot himself in the head with a blank... and died?

There was once an incident in my town where a theatrical production was held and they were using blanks. One guy died because even though he was on the other side of the stage he was still struck with a projectile fired from the firearm. Uh yeah, a projectile from a firearm most likely unless something like a rubber bullet is lethal.

Surprise! A very small but intense blast focused in one direction is deadly

I've found unshot rifle blanks from 30's. They probably trained before Winter war.

"🤔Are blanks deadly????" Brandon Lee : Heavens to Megatriod...... YES!! And YES!! AH DUH😳

So you shouldn’t point blanks at someone. Very cool.

Fun fact point blank originally meant the distance where your rifle was zeroed at. So there are 2 point blanks. One for each spot your line of sight intersects the arch of travel

1st thing I was taught about blanks in the Corp was to stick a cleaning rod down the barrel to use as a projectile.

Every video should be like this, soo educational

Our instructions (Danish Defense) are to not fire if a target or a person is less than 1m ahead and 1m to the side of you. After that meter it becomes 3m ahead and to the sides. This is also the the distance the "blank-safety" (dunno what else it's called) is expected to fly off your muzzle, should you somehow have chambered a live round instead of a blank.

Absolutely Deadly 💥 💯 ☠️

Dude I didn’t even think blanks could even do this kinda damage! Crazy

White Cleveland is not real he can't hurt you White Cleveland:

Are blanks deadly? Ask Alec Baldwin.

“Are Blanks deadly?” Ask Brandon Lee

Rainbow 6 characters taking these point blank to the face in trainings💀

Deadly only if you remove the Blank Adapter and load a Cleaning Rod in the Barrel. We did that quite a bit when the Howler Monkeys would get aggressive during training exercises when I was stationed in Panama.

It's not mentioned here, but eating them is also a choking hazard. Which is deadly.

" A blank will blow a lung out!" ~ Joetato Biden

Several instances of people being killed by blank cartridges. Very dangerous

Our blanks are wooden + blank adapter in the end. You need eye protection for that play and respect distance atleas few meters when practising.

This is making me feel better about my “size”. The camera makes those rounds look as girthy as 7sixtwos. Maybe all those “movies” I watched as a kid didn’t accurately represent the average proportions of the male portion.

The phrase "point blank" refers to the distance at which a blank round is lethal.

They're dangerous a lil bit because of the powerful fire.

For some reason he kinda sounded like cleveland from family guy 💀
