Blanks don't kill anybody.
In the 70s and 80s it was quite common for a number of troopers in the 82nd to drop weapons at the first contact with students and Gs during Robin Sage and give chase. It would develope into a foot race and many arguments.
Site selection is very important when all you have is blanks. Working wire fences, ditches and streams into your plans can greatly improve the "kill zone" and impede the bad guys. A squad of Infantry who drops their weapons and charges into your force looks real funny hung up on a three strand barbed wire fence. And after that one they were real slow in chasing us anywhere at night.
If you know where they are at, fences are your friends.
