Straight from Wikipedia: "The appearance of a blank cartridge can give a false sense of safety. Although blank cartridges do not contain a bullet, precautions are still required because fatalities and severe injuries have resulted on occasions when blank cartridges have been fired at very close ranges."
and they're manually racking the action on the gun. you dont need to do that with live fire ammunition. thats only something you do with blanks or lower powder amounts, like subsonics.
really break? those are all blanks. look at their rifles when they all fire. 0 recoil. even a very small caliber would show recoil when holding a rifle one handed in the air. the gases exiting the barrel from the blank blew his beret off, not a bullet. modern organized armies never fire bullets into the air for ceremonies or events anyways. thats a huge safety issue. great job break.
Monkey is right, they fire blanks for salutes like that. The hot expanding gas knocked his cap off. If it were live ammo they would not need to hand cycle the action to get the next round to feed. Think about it, if they used live ammo in a large city all those bullets would be falling all over the city, never be allowed to happen.
Actually, you would have to. If the weapon slide is in the forward position, and you inserted a magazine, you would have to cycle the weapon to put a round in the chamber. In theory the weapon is in Condition 4 with the slide forward. If you insert a loaded magazine, the weapon would be in Condition 3. Therefore, you would have to cycle the weapon to put a round in the chamber. Upon firing, the weapon would automatically put a round in the chamber. For ceremonial purposes, there are 2 things that I have see
When fired in the air, rounds do not come back down to earth like you would see in a cartoon or whatnot. The round actually basically dissenergrates in the air. I'm not saying small fragments of metal are not coming back down, but it's been proven that those small pieces of metal do not travel fast enough to pierce skin or even cause serious pain. At most you would feel something like a bug bite, or a pinch if the round was not carried by wind (which it would be) or land in a tree or whatnot. The bullet wou

Blanks can NOT kill you from that range. Fact.
...and blanks can kill from that range also. Fact.
Blank rounds people. Possibly the air being discharged from the gun blew his hat off. Not a bullet. Thats why he's not freaking out
You're a fucken idiot if you don't think a blank round 2 feet away from your head CANT kill you.
drop-shot next time dude, works every time!
Lol, who remembers shooting the same guy's cap off in the engine room of the frigate in Goldeneye?
WOW... Blanks or not... amazing bearing by the guy in front... and balls of steel. Blanks still hurt like hell that close.
thats a strong military bearing
wow, if that was live ammo..... centimeter away from death
beat your face PRIIIIIIIIIIIITE!!!!
Booom headsho0t
Nice pokerface
He's got some damn good Military Bearing. If that was me I would of flipped out and ruined EVERYONES day.

Dude didn't even flinch. I bet the guy who fired is gonna get a beat down with a sock full of batteries while hes sleeping
hombre stood there like a boss
That was not a live round, blanks for this kind of weapon can kill at these distances, though.
subbed. now do me back
I just threw you a sub, how 'bout throwin' some of that luvin back?
Just subbed!! Harry, you are cluless but cute!
shud it yankeedo
did he died?
Gotta fresh batch of Gorbie-goo coming up for TantalizingFart. He's a very generous lover.
I like that part.
A blank can blow the head off a snake, I'm sure it wouldn't tickle on a human head.
I hate when I respawn in the same place
ya, too bad the guy you know as your dad was shooting blanks and your mom got a wad from some bum
hmm he must of had an extra life
i love it when people reply to a post without reading what everyone else has already said...
Ah yes
It documented that many people have been killed with blanks up to 10 ft away.
dude if you want to be a prick, at least explain yourself to the rest of us non-gun-freaks
Sami....did you cut and paste that whole thing? if not you wasted your time
Ok, Sami, I see what you did there. Now, go get some air...and an avatar.

Blanks have enough gas to chamber the next round. I have done exercises in the military that prove this . Don't know what your thinking

Wow, a party! I have subs for everyone! You just bring beer and we'll watch Hairy Peenes wrestle the snake in the mud pit!
He got winded.
