During training one constantly points rifles at other people. Section attack drills, things like that. And your rifle is usually not unloaded, blanks make the situation much more realistic.
The adults in the video knew the pistol was unloaded. It was very poor gun control but suggestion that no one should ever point a gun at another person is just silly.

That might fly In the UK perhaps, not in the USMC. Muzzle awareness is stressed considerably, even when the weapon is unloaded. You do not fuck around like those guys were.
Yes, we do simmunition training with simmunition rounds, but those are fired from special rifle platforms. And even then, we stress muzzle awareness when not in the actual motions of the excercise.
Relevant Weapon safety rules: 1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. 2. Never point the weapon at anything you don’t intend to shoot.

I was going to say, I've always had separate blank firing weapons for simulated fire training.

So it's okay to point a weapon at someone if you have a BFA but otherwise it's insane and dangerous?
It's almost like there is a double standard and sometimes it's okay to point a weapon at people.......

Are all bits this bad, or are you specifically bad at comprehending written words?

The only reason the British Army uses BFAs is that they won't cycle properly using blanks without. You know that? Right?
And getting "shot" with a blank at close range fucking sucks?

No you.
I was talking about children being allowed to buy firearms. The Two Jerseys brought up the adults in Texas.
I'm still of the opinion that children shouldn't be allowed to buy guns. What is your opinion on that?

Sure, doesn't change the fact that you don't need to use live capable arms.
Not with a blank gun.
