receiving a letter threatening "bodily harm" to anyone who participated. Pretty amusing, threatening people who are all carrying rifles (with fixed bayonets), many with sidearms.
Sure, they're all shooting blanks now, but that can change with one reload.

Blanks can kill at close range. Remember some actor offed himself by accident playing with a blank firing pistol several years back.

Even with blank loads, sometimes a reenactor will accidentally forget leaving his ramrod in the bore. The result is capable of cutting down several saplings.
Or so I heard...
