If part of your culture is firing guns in the air as celebration, I might not get it, but I can support that it’s a cultural tradition.
That being said, some people do fireworks in the US to celebrate weddings, it’s not like they have a pile of old gunpowder that they just set off in the middle of the crowd. Guests, or the couple, will supply the celebratory munitions. I feel like the host could have just bought a crate of common caliber blanks and left it in a corner.
Blanks may not properly cycle the action. I know this isn’t a real concern for celebrations, but it does put a damper on the fun when you have to rack the charging handle after every round.
Blanks do exist… why use real bullets, that’s just stupid at the highest levels.
imagine shooting 100 arrows directly up in the air and just standing there
it’s that level of stupid
Blanks require you to buy them, in a lot of these places you already have a pile of spare Soviet or local ammo at home.
I mean, it’s a wedding.

But life is cheap, I guess…
Wait! Celebratory gunfire is not just one shot in the air? Is it like one clip per guest?!
It depends, but it’s often a few shots from whoever has the gun.
It’s much easier to buy people killers than blanks.
