"...a blank will kill someone at point-blank range"
As I mentioned in my post, the Army taught that. Even so, there's a common perception - misconception - that as they are only blanks then they cannot be too dangerous. That's how I injured myself.
It seems to me that as part of the instruction, the instructor should fire a blank at point blank range into some suitable object to demonstrate the point.

That never happened when I was being instructed.
