[UA] Russian Roulette

[Cassady Toles]

  Not wholly true.  Blanks don't tend to have as much gunpowder as bullets
  do.  So, while there is a pressure wave, it doesn't have nearly the energy
  behind it that a bullet would.
  
  That said, yes, it's a very bad idea to "shoot" someone at close range
  with a blank.  Unless you do put it right to the temple, it probably won't
  be fatal, but it could be quite injurious.
  
I'll totally concede that point, but I always assumed, likely to need
hospitalization was the point at which it went from minor to significant
charge.  I would say that injury qualifies.
