slngsht Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 YouTube - Soldier Gets His Cap Peeled by a rifle
MHKflyer52 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 He most likely did not realize what had just happened and how close to death he had just come...... One LUCKY person.
Hank Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I'm confused here. Would the military allow them to shoot live rounds into the air like that, or is it possible a blank could do that? I have heard that a blank can still kill someone if fired close enough to them (pressure).

Hank, The wadding that is in the blank can inflict serious damage that close especially if it were to hit an area like the face or back of the neck. Some blanks have a small plastic seal plug some have a cardboard plug some have a wax plug and some larger shell cases are crimped to keep the powder from falling out of the shell casing.
