Fun fact: Star Trek has lasted longer than the wild west did. 58 years versus 47 years

You only have the rights to your likeness until 70 years after the death of your author (your mom)

Alternatively, your mom starts with the rights, and you never even get them. (unless she sells them to you)

That's my best guess. I've shot a gun, but I've never shot a lion, so I'm no expert. I don't even know how to reload one.

Pretty much, though blanks aren't actually bullets, they're rounds or cartridges. The main difference between blanks and regular rounds/cartridges is that blanks don't have bullets (the metal bit which gets shot out of the gun)

They still have the gunpowder though, so like can@sh.itjust.works said, they are still dangerous due to the explosion that no longer has to propel a bullet.

What do you want? "Ave, true to Kaiser?"

I think there's also a play off of The Ship of Theseus, since it's a recompilation of the original game

The Black Tide series has something similar that they use to clear out zombies. It's carried by helicopter with the shield protecting upwards, and it makes noise and flashes lights to attract the horde. They drop it off in the middle of an area they want to clear, and then pick it up a few weeks later.
