Re: 73 year old Florida woman shot dead in citizens police academy demonstration
It's just really a bad idea to train with blanks in a revolver, especially at close range. Semi's have to use blank firing adapters in order to cycle, and I've only ever used them in assault rifles (M-16). The BFA was a big red "block" that clamped onto the flash hider and inserted a metal rod in the barrel. Then the blank 5.56 rounds were crimped brass at the end with no bullet. Even then we weren't supposed to point them at anyone closer than 30 feet. And this was for sailors and marines on active duty training for ground combat...not civilian/citizen patrol training...
