A 17-year-old male was brought to the emergency department with chest
injury by a gunshot from a blank cartridge (BC). No bullet or fragment
was seen in the radiological examination. The patient underwent left
thoracotomy for hemopneumothorax. Chest injuries due to BCs have rarely
been reported in the literature. The word ``blank{''} gives people a
false sense of safety. Although BC ammunition does not contain any
bullets or parts coming out of the barrel, it can lead to serious injury
or even death, especially at contact or close-range.
