Or when people in a gunfight clearly aren’t hearing the apocalyptically loud sound gunshots would make in their situation - like in a small room or in a car.
I love the scene in (a movie, just realized I can talk about it without spoiling if I don’t say what movie, those who have seen it will know), where there’s an attempt to do a romance scam where they rob you when you get naked to have sex with the bait woman. He takes the other guy’s gun, at which point the guy laughs and says it’s only loaded with blanks. MC pauses for a second then shoots him in the face point blank anyways because blanks still release a ton of energy, they just don’t put half of it in to a small projectile, and the guy ends up rolling on the floor in agony, blinded.
Though that shot is fired inside and I don’t recall if they even acknowledge that aspect of it.
I find it kind of cool that they portrayed blanks correctly, or at least more accurately than usual. The public has a misconception that shooting blanks is like shooting a cap gun.

Archer definitely does, though!

Yeah, with bad luck blanks may kill even from distance, so it’s really better not to push your luck pointing a loaded gun
