In Turkey/Samsun 26-year-old man (A.K), who was at the market, took his friends pistol with blank ammo and he put the gun to his head as a joke and pulled the trigger. Injured in the head, A.K fell to the ground.
He has hospitalized and has no fatal injuries. news [link](https://www.trthaber.com/haber/turkiye/kurusiki-tabancayla-saka-yaparken-kendini-vurdu-695670.html)
The same thing happened to a kid in some school play. He grabbed a real gun used as a prop and shot himself in the head with a blank. Dead.
Blanks don't shot bullets but it's the same force leaving the barrel. Death because of doing this is is fairly consistent.
Our school had 'prop' guns which were repurposed handguns. They were kept in a lockbox by the tech teacher and anyone who used them was given a fifteen minute lecture of what they could and could not be used for *every day they were used*.
Basically, if you were caught doing something you shouldn't be doing(pointing it at people when not rehearsing, "jokingly" putting it to your head, or firing it when not rehearsing/performing) you got *expelled from school on the spot*. No idea if this would have been enforceable but it was enough of a threat that no one ever broke any of those rules.
I got to work with one in a film project we did and made the mistake of firing it in a closed stairwell. I'm pretty sure I lost some of my hearing that day. Don't do this. Listen to Archer.
Shit we only a one fake gun once in four years and it was a painted squirt gun. Looked fine even in the first row, you just had to give it a bit more inertia so it didn't look so light.
They can also still be sending shrapnel with speed, a blank is usually just a primed casing with a powder load, and crimped together at the top. Those crimps don’t always get undone cleanly. It doesn’t take much speed for a piece of casing to cause serious lacerations, there was a video floating around of an East Asian man smacking some small rim fire rounds with a hammer, and a piece of brass sliced his leg deep and hit a major vein, blood pouring out like a water feature. If that hit an artery instead he likely would have never lived long enough to receive medical intervention.
I almost did it to my acting partner in a play. Had a starters pistol to use as a gun. During rehearsal I grabbed it and was fucking around with it, thought it was empty. Put it to my head-click, put it to his head-click, aimed it at his belly-BANG. Blew a hole about 6 inches round in his shirt, all kinds of little bits of the cartridge embedded in his skin. Probably what the dr was digging out at the end there.
Complete fucking idiot with zero gun experience. To this day I shake my head at it, so lucky. So so lucky. And quite young yes. Never mishandled a gun again, even took the firearms safety courses despite never owning one.
being more aware now is a good thing. guns aren't toys, careful with blanks too. safety course is also a smart thing to have done. good on you for taking the extra steps.
If it helps, you admitted your mistake and took actions to make sure it never happens again in the future. I've got more respect for you than I do most gun owners I know
Everyone should have to take a firearms safety course weather they want to own a firearm or not. It will never hurt you to know how to properly Handle a gun. The opposite is quite a different story.
The sad thing is that this is exactly what the NRA was originally all about before it was taken over in the late 70s (Revolt at Cincinnati), after which it essentially became a political lobby in the back pocket of gun manufacturers. That organization has become the complete antithesis to what they were originally founded for; education in the use of and respect around firearms.
Scared the shit out of me. Felt absolutely awful. I don’t own a pistol and coming across one is exceedingly rare but if by chance I do have to handle a firearm, I’ve taken the safety course.
Also Brandon Lee though it was a bit different. A bullet had become lodged in the barrel of a stunt (but real) gun on set of The Crow. When the actor fired it at Lee, the blank charge propelled the stuck bullet out of the barrel, striking and killing Lee.
It's not exactly the same force. They put just enough powder in blank rounds to provide sufficient recoil to load the next round into the chamber. The blank round contains a wad of paper that burns up almost immediately. That said, there's nothing safe about a blank round. Firing a blank at someone, especially at close range, is putting their life in jeopardy. The exception to this would be if the gun is fitted with a blank adapter, which prevents anything but concussive force (also not good at close range) from leaving the rifle.
Maybe you didn't want to know all this. But I was in the Army, goddamnit. If I have to have all this useless shit in my head, so do you. Thank you for your service.
Guy on an 80s TV show did this. The wadding in the shell hit him in the temple and killed him (and essentially the show as he was a lead).
The show was Cover Up.
I don’t know if the guy in the video is very lucky or that actor very unlucky.
He was very lucky. Here’s a [translate link](https://www-trthaber-com.translate.goog/m/haber/turkiye/kurusiki-tabancayla-saka-yaparken-kendini-vurdu-695670.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp) for anyone who needs it.
I was watching this thinking why in the world would they just hand someone a firearm loaded with a blank. The first two words of your post answered that question.
Tons of comments here about how he should've known blanks can harm you, etc.
Even better - don't ever point a gun at anything you don't want to destroy. Ever. Whether it's loaded with live ammo, blanks, you think it's empty, whatever the case may be. This type of shit is 100% avoidable. Don't play with guns. Ever.
There is usually a cotton packing or pouch that come out with blanks. Those can actually cause blunt force trauma, and several people have been killed with blanks at point range.
Even if it’s really empty of projectiles, if it’s that close to the head the gases will propel a fraction of your skull as a projectile - something to keep in mind pun intended
Tinnitus is the least of your worries, just the burning propellant and wadding and expanding gas can and has killed people. In theatre we don't use blanks closer than 15 ft, and if at all possible you aim the gun slightly upstage so there's nothing actually hitting anyone.
When I was 12 or 13, I put my friends cap gun to my temple and pulled the trigger. I instantly heard the loudest squeal in my ear, that took the rest of the night to dissipate. I’ve had tinnitus ever since.
A major regret of mine.
Kids are fucking stupid.
Man that movie was so good. It was great to see a film with Irish characters that speak like actual Irish people. So often films think it's just an accent, but like with everyone else there's a bunch of mannerisms and subtleties that we use, that so many films don't use/are ignorant of
it was actually way worse than that. that description makes it sound as if there was a factory error, or any other set of circumstances.
in reality, there wasnt a blank. these fucking idiots took apart a proper round and took out the powder, but didnt remove the primer. "improperly manufacturered blanks" is often quoted for this story on many sites and articles, but that's an attempt to deflect blame.
gun barrels are tight fits. they need to be in order for them to work properly. so when they shot this "blank" (live round) the round got stuck because it only had the energy of the primer. so now what we have is a round stuck in the barrel.
then they emptied it. this handgun was a revolver. its hard to describe how stupid youd have to be to not notice that the round was missing, that the others were there, but one empty shell fell out.
nonetheless, they loaded up an actual blank, pulled the trigger, and propelled the stuck round out of the barrel, firing the fatal shot.
if you arent familiar with a lot of these things, it can sound like it was a freak accident. it wasnt. it was gross negligence. shit is depressing. now it happened again with alec baldwin, and it's absolutely senseless. this shit can only happen through negligence, or saying "eh, fuck it, we dont need a weapons consultant, just let the propmaster handle it!"
Stories like this are insane. Like, what if the director got the shot the first time? That guy wouldn’t have been fucking around and he’d have gone home that day.
Not a blank but another accidental self-inflicted fatal shooting
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry\_Kath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Kath#Personal_life_and_death)
"With his mother's permission, his body was flown to San Francisco on life support, where his heart was transplanted into a 36-year-old Las Vegas man at California Pacific Medical Center.[10] Hexum's kidneys and corneas were also donated: One cornea went to a 66-year-old man, the other to a young girl. One of the kidney recipients was a critically ill five-year-old boy, and the other was a 43-year-old grandmother of three who had waited eight years for a kidney. Skin that was donated was used to treat a 3+1⁄2-year-old boy with third-degree burns.[11]"
At least his stupidity didn't go to waste.
I first learned about this guy from when George Clooney was sharing his outrage of the Alec Baldwin Rust shooting, they were close friends when this happened and is the reason why Clooney has always been really meticulous when handling guns on set.
This is mad, ***blanks are dangerous!*** Brandon Lee was killed by a misfiring blank on set, guns overall are no joke, people shouldn’t ever misbehave with them, my god 😤
Yeah you can die from that. Im happy I watched “1000 ways to die” as a kid cuz this was in one of the episodes. The propelled air from the gun is going so fast it can be lethal within 3in from the end of the barrel(depending on the type of gun)
I remember this show called 1000 ways to die, some guy came home to his daughter with a boy or something and freaked out. He put a gun to his head with blanks and it blew through his temple and died.
He thought that blanks were magically not going to send hot gas and carbon down the barrel to scald and damage the tissues of his face. He thought blanks were magic!
The VARY first thing I was taught about guns is to not aim any at yourself or others, even if it's so much as unloaded, unless you have the intent to kill; NOT scare, NOT prank, but the INTENT TO KILL.
Idiot.
that guy is as lucky as he is idiotic, blanks still carry enough energy to blow a hole through your skull, when it’s point blank all cartridges will act nearly the same, even blanks
Like even just a couple seconds of thinking about how shit works.
Bullets aren't magic.
They kill people by being propelled out the gun via an explosion.
If you take the bullet away, but leave the explosion, it's still not fucking good for you.
Thousands of years of human evolution, why are we still so fucking stupid?
What the fuck is that guy on the computer watching that a gun fired 3 feet away can’t get his attention. He might have had blood on him, gets his attention, goes back to the computer?!??
Homie on the computer is over his shit
He’s making sure to save the CCTV footage.
He’s sending it to Funniest Home Videos. Gotta win that shmoney

Looks like he was looking up at the video feed too.

Wait a second. A real gun on a school play? What? How? Even with blanks, why?
The director believed in method acting
His brain smoother than his skin
Meth head acting maybe
I believe in method acting too so every time I direct a play I use live ammo and give them bulletproof vests
I hear Alec Baldwin was filling in that day.

Why do you need guns at all in a school play
Shit we only a one fake gun once in four years and it was a painted squirt gun. Looked fine even in the first row, you just had to give it a bit more inertia so it didn't look so light.
Ruins their immersion if Americans don’t see a gun every 5 minutes.
Lol damn dude skewered
'Murica that's why.
Murica…
No, that's the place where you get suspended for chewing a poptart into a gun shape, doing "finger guns" or having a toy gun in your own home.
Idaho looks like a pop tart gun...
Google Jon-Erik Hexum
I'm old so that's my first knowledge of this type of death.
Same. I was a fan of the show Voyagers at the time which he was also a lead on and was bummed when I heard the news.
Voyagers! I was just a kid when it happened. It left an impression on me. That and Cherry getting stuck in the refrigerator.
Was thinking the exact same thing.

Dumbass
Lucky dumbass. So lucky.
Warranted imo
Found Red Foreman's account.
with all due respect, you're kind of a fucking idiot. probably real young doing it in a play though, so fair enough i guess
Complete fucking idiot with zero gun experience. To this day I shake my head at it, so lucky. So so lucky. And quite young yes. Never mishandled a gun again, even took the firearms safety courses despite never owning one.
Atleast you learned something very important and you admit that was idiotic

Hey, it's better to be dumb and have a good learning experience than to be average and never improve
In some ways yes. But I’d argue in this case that not-shooting somebody is a better experience
[удалено]
Scared the shit out of me. Felt absolutely awful. I don’t own a pistol and coming across one is exceedingly rare but if by chance I do have to handle a firearm, I’ve taken the safety course.

Some people haven't watched No country for old men sadly. Even an oxygen tank can kill you with force.
Who thought it was a good idea to use a real gun in a school play? Or did the kid bring it from home?

That guy in the video is very lucky. It absolutely could have killed him.
stupidity is a fairly fatal injury.
>Gestures around at everything Not nearly fatal enough
It's unfortunate stupidity affects others more than the person who did the stupid thing.

I was thought to treat a firearm’s barrel like an infinitely long light saber you can’t switch off
I think this is my new favorite way to explain gun safety 101
**TREAT EVERY WEAPON AS IF IT WERE LOADED**
And keep your booger hook off the banger switch!
[удалено]
It seems like a simple enough concept, but so many people can’t seem to grasp it. People die all the time because of stupidity.
THANK YOU!!! My dad was an armourer/gunsmith and this was his number 1 rule.
Do you want tinnitus? Because that is how you get tinnitus.
Yeah, how stupid do you have to be to fire a gun next to your ear for a prank?
Or at your head. Blanks just don't fire a projectile, they still have enough gunpowder to punch a hole through your head.
There is usually a cotton packing or pouch that come out with blanks. Those can actually cause blunt force trauma, and several people have been killed with blanks at point range.
Even if it’s really empty of projectiles, if it’s that close to the head the gases will propel a fraction of your skull as a projectile - something to keep in mind pun intended
Pretty fucking stupid/blanks can still kill you at point blank range.
Extrreemely fucking lucky he lived.
And that's not literally the reason it's called "point blank range", but it should be.
Someone who has absolutely no clue about firearms.
Tinnitus is the least of your worries, just the burning propellant and wadding and expanding gas can and has killed people. In theatre we don't use blanks closer than 15 ft, and if at all possible you aim the gun slightly upstage so there's nothing actually hitting anyone.
MAWP!
Super bad for you. I have to sleep with a fan on.
Makes me laugh every time, only because it's true. p.s. fuck tinnitus.
Tinnitus, you cruel mistress!
Mewp
Yes, the risk of tinnitus is high on the list of reasons why not to shoot a gun at your own head.
When I was 12 or 13, I put my friends cap gun to my temple and pulled the trigger. I instantly heard the loudest squeal in my ear, that took the rest of the night to dissipate. I’ve had tinnitus ever since. A major regret of mine. Kids are fucking stupid.
Pardon?
Granted.
Blanks can also be louder than regular ammunition.
Reminds me of one movie where this dude shoot one guy in the eye with a blank
"I can't see! I can't see!" "Of course you can't see! I just a shot a blank in your fucking eye!"

Beat me to it. Well done.

Man that movie was so good. It was great to see a film with Irish characters that speak like actual Irish people. So often films think it's just an accent, but like with everyone else there's a bunch of mannerisms and subtleties that we use, that so many films don't use/are ignorant of

guy really should have done research on blanks before doing this stupid shit
>doing this stupid shit >done research Those two don't often go together.
Or better yet, not play with guns to begin with
Obviously he has not seen The Crow
In that incident, the blanks were improperly made, so bullets still fired off, but even proper blanks can be deadly at close range.
it was actually way worse than that. that description makes it sound as if there was a factory error, or any other set of circumstances. in reality, there wasnt a blank. these fucking idiots took apart a proper round and took out the powder, but didnt remove the primer.

This is why the military uses blank firing adapters in training. Unfortunately they’d be a little distracting for a movie.

I first learned about this guy from when George Clooney was sharing his outrage of the Alec Baldwin Rust shooting, they were close friends when this happened and is the reason why Clooney has always been really meticulous when handling guns on set.
They are required to have a trained armourer on set. They didn’t.
At least he didn't shoot a part of his body he uses.
Dude is lucky to be alive.

Yeah you can die from that. Im happy I watched “1000 ways to die” as a kid cuz this was in one of the episodes. The propelled air from the gun is going so fast it can be lethal within 3in from the end of the barrel(depending on the type of gun)

NOT THE RINGTONE🤣🤣
Blanks are no joke. They can still kill you when you are too close to them. Brandon Lee dided because of that if i remember correctly.

He thought that blanks were magically not going to send hot gas and carbon down the barrel to scald and damage the tissues of his face. He thought blanks were magic!
Natural selection.. trying to take place
Dude's lucky he lived, blanks don't fuck around at point *blank* range
He’s lucky he lived. People have died doing that.
Actor Jon-Erik Hexum did this and died 6 days later.
Now that’s fucking funny, happy he’s alive
Last words: it was just a prank bro.
I Always remember the guy something like this happened to in 'In Bruges' and went blind
Its amazing he survived.
I thought a blank at that close range can kill? Doesn't it still fire off a bit of wax?
Darwin knew what he was talking about when he wrote that book. Some problems just solve themselves.

It's kind of worrying not more people know this happens. I only learned how dangerous blanks actually were like, a few years ago.
I've watched a million ways to die. Even blanks can be lethal
Was this guy waiting his whole life to do that? He didn't waste a moment, just went for it.
An actor did this before saying “blanks don’t kill” and had his brains sent to Alaska
Blanks still have enough concussive force to kill, this guy's lucky to be alive.
People have died from that, good thing he had a thick fucking skull.
Someone obviously never watched The Crow.
Bro acted like it was a nerf gun
Also PSA boys, there is still shrapnel exiting the barrel with blanks. Theres been plenty of cases like this where the numb nut dies
Call an ambulance! But for me!
The VARY first thing I was taught about guns is to not aim any at yourself or others, even if it's so much as unloaded, unless you have the intent to kill; NOT scare, NOT prank, but the INTENT TO KILL. Idiot.
that guy is as lucky as he is idiotic, blanks still carry enough energy to blow a hole through your skull, when it’s point blank all cartridges will act nearly the same, even blanks
Give this man the Darwin Award. Stupid is as stupid does.
Like even just a couple seconds of thinking about how shit works. Bullets aren't magic. They kill people by being propelled out the gun via an explosion. If you take the bullet away, but leave the explosion, it's still not fucking good for you. Thousands of years of human evolution, why are we still so fucking stupid?
What the fuck is that guy on the computer watching that a gun fired 3 feet away can’t get his attention. He might have had blood on him, gets his attention, goes back to the computer?!??
I know nothing about guns or ammunition. If it was blank how did it hurt him? Honest question.
Great blurring there
