Notice the crimp on the end of the cartridge.. It's a blank

So Even if the gun/ammo supplier did mix live and blank rounds in the box, you can visibly tell the difference, if you pay attention...uff
I would assume (I know big mistake) a competent armorer would know the difference and check.. If you look close the blank round even says "blank" on the end..

A regular 45 long cold cartridge does not have this.. it's smooth
