Why a blank bullet could still kill you

It is common to hear the colonialism of ‘firing blank bullets’ in the middle of a film or play recording, but what does shooting them mean and what effects could they trigger? Why can people die after being snubbed with this guy? ammo?

Below we will explain some of these answers, what is this type of ammunition, why it is used and why it can be a lethal soul like any other.

The truth is that blank bullets are harmless from a distance, but if you hit a person with one, they can cause serious damage. To understand how much particles they are, we have to see how a bullet is built.

To be effective, the bullet and the weapon must contain something that produces a spark that starts the entire firing process, a source of fuel that ignites rapidly and generates a large amount of gas capable of expelling the projectile at that speed.

In the past, you had to load the weapon with all those elements apart from the projectile, but today the bullets include everything: an elegant outer casing (2) some fuel (3) as well as the primer (4) that produces the spark. Meanwhile, the projectile (1), a heavy metal object, remains at the top, also preventing everything inside from spilling out. As long as the weapon is not pressed against someone, only the bullet can do damage.

But why? The bullet hurts her because it is made of a heavy and dense substance. This dense and heavy object easily maintains its momentum as it flies through the air and can easily pass through human flesh.

If the metal bullet is replaced with a rolled piece of paper or cotton, as with blank bullets, the danger is over. In addition, the more the paper flies, the more its fragile mass is equal to the pressure of the air it tries to pass through, therefore, it becomes slower and slower and is incapable of causing any damage. Anywhere that is just over half a meter away you won’t have much to fear, unless it is clear that it falls directly on your eye. (I)
